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.

Youtube doesn't let you download the videos directly. If they did, you'd be right. The fact that the original yt-dl was shut down by Youtube kinda disproves your point all by itself.

You’re downloading videos every time you watch a video on YouTube.
