In Sweden you are allowed to make copies for private useage. I can record and save whatever piece of media I want, as long as I don’t distribute it to other people and the material itself is not illegal (abuse material for example).
And here we see copyrighta blightus, the copyblight firm to the rest of us, looking to expand it’s territory.
This species is, of course, an invader to the quiet widely watched waves; an invasive element that can, and will, upset the local ecosystem.
If you listen closely, you can hear the call of these parasites; it sounds a little like “you wouldn’t steal a car”.
I thought this said the International Federation of the Pornographic Industry and got really confused lmao.
Well, that particular federation can’t be mad at yt-dlp right now, because PornHub support is broken right now. It appears. I’ve been told.
Allow to explain why piracy can’t die in a way buisness majors can understand.
She’s gorgeous. She’s fantastic in bed. She pegs you and won’t tell anybody. You want to marry her.
You will be subjected to nonstop crazy bullshit for the rest of your life. She’s no longer fun, just expensive. She’s abusive. Nobody is happy.
And now she has ads.
You drink more. You stop coming home after work until she’s asleep. You refer to local hookers by their legal first names.
One day she throws a clot and dies. And you feel relief. The abuse, the lies, the manipulation, the pretending to be happy is finally done. You are free.
This in an anolgy for streaming services.
Company happly sends media to my computer when requested.
Company angry my computer do what I want with the media it got.
All of it is strings of ones and zeros that are instructions that tell my computer what to display.
Its basic freedom of speech. Imagine not beign able to give instructions in other contexts because you didn’t pay to use the words.
They describe the tool as an application that retrieves content by parsing web page data and interacting with platform playback endpoints, with GitHub serving as the primary delivery method for its source code, pre-compiled binaries, and installation instructions.
Omg, web browsers will be next!
You joke, but even the browsers capable to parse the accepted nightmare are restricted on free platforms. Not to mention any niche browser.
You joke but killing general purpose browsers to sandbox everyone into curated apps would give most middle managing MBAs a priapism.
Github after that
Git never needed GitHub and Microsoft is terrified people will remember that.
IIRC Google researchers have publicly used it for machine learning experiments. For example, for grabbing a sample video as part of some demo code.
There’s an EU piracy watchlist? Did anyone submit Facebook to it?
Sounds like a spam this agency project.
…Hmmmm… It should. If you read the linked article it claims the group lists X, discord, telegram and vimeo as sites that encourage infringement, so there’s that.
Nah, bro. I’m using it to train my ai. Trust me bro.
Yeah, the content mafia really hates everything that makes us actually own something.
Because if you have it, they can’t charge rent to use it.
How soon before WINE is included in this?
Valve is heavily involved with that project now. Nobody would dare tilt at that windmill now.
Bold of you to assume that the boomers at these outdated organisations know who valve is
Of course it’s the music industry…
Can it download any of those paid movies? That might be the only thing that makes sense
It cannot.
Then it’s not piracy.
It’s not piracy anyway even if that worked as the owner isn’t being deprived of what they own.
That’s not what piracy is, though. That’s why piracy isn’t theft.
Piracy is an act of robbery on the high seas.
Robbery is larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat.
Larceny is the unlawful taking of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently.
In this context, we are referring to the “Copyright or patent infringement” definition, which is not theft.
That’s not directed at you specifically.
I would expect it can as long as you can provide a cookie for a login that owns the movie. But you know what can also do that? Firefox with OBS running, it just takes the full runtime to download.
I mean technically speaking unless you have permission of the copyright owner to download their video any tool you use to download (almost) any YouTube video would be a piracy tool.
Your web browser necessarily has to download a YouTube video in order to display it to you. It just doesn’t provide an easy way for that data to be more than ephemeral.
Going to YouTube and having your browser download the video so you can watch it would be an approved way to download the video, making further copies of it more than likely not.
YT-DLP doesn’t make further copies. It downloads a video file from YouTube the exact same way your browser does.
Nnnnnnope. Time shifting.
Time shifting?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_shifting
It’s why DVRing is legal. This tool is no different functionally than a screen recorder pointed at the video. That’s how they used to work, but that changed once TV went digital (they don’t reencode, they store the pre-compressed segments.
Ok that’s fun I was unaware of this term. It’s kind of interesting though to apply the term to something like digital streaming media that’s already, for lack of a better term, pre time-shifted.
Interesting idea. If i subscribe to a streaming service for one month, i can save 31 days * 24 hours of content for later viewing. That would keep ke going quite a while since i only have the time to watch tv for a couple of hours per night…
The Who?
I mean, yeah? Isn’t that what we’re all using it for?
Yes, but no one likes to think that. Read other comments, people seemingly think downloading or distributing copyrights-protected material (just like movies) is perfectly legal. There really isn’t many videos on YouTube that uses public domain or creative commons.
Tons of science and education content does.
