So, are they going to also issue a takedown for YouTube Premium next? Premium allows you to watch/listen without ads and also allows you to download videos for offline use. If I pay for YouTube Premium, there should be no problem with me using youtube-dl to timeshift the content I've already paid for. It's no different than using a DVR to record a show off a cable channel I pay to subscribe to.
Really, the RIAA should be going after YouTube for better remuneration, rather than going after youtube-dl. Unless I'm missing something, they get paid no matter whether the view comes from a browser user-agent or youtube-dl user-agent. How is this any different than recording a song off the radio, which is, AFAIK, legal under fair use?
