    Yt-dlp doesn’t pirate YouTube videos… it downloads them directly from YouTube.

      it downloads them directly from YouTube

      Thus, pirating them. More or less by the same method that is used to download every single WEB-DL movie/episode you see on torrent sites.

        It’s not pirating if you’re obtaining a video that they’re making available to you for free lmao.
