By this logic, Windows is also a piracy tool. Ban that please.
My having eyes and perceiving something I didn’t pay for is a piracy tool /s
By extension, bootleggers walk so we must ban the possession of legs!
This FBI is pro-bestiality.
cannot argue with that. cannot, cannot. 🤣
ifpi is private lobbying organization. that “watch list”, from what i have gathered, is basically public shaming, it has no enforceable legal status whatsoever.
wouldnt doubt it… I seem to remember reading awhile back that there had been multiple occurrences of the department of homeland security being involved against piracy of digital media bc it was a trade export or some shit… (i think it was back when I had been reading about kim dotcom or maybe one of the popular public tracker site owners who was outside the us and got caught? idk… been awhile)
IMO, companies “losing” profit due to piracy has absolute fuckall to do with national security so its more like rich people leveraging their paid congress-pets to come down hard on anything that stands against their greed.
Awesome 😎 And this is why I need to disable “PUPS” every time I install a new copy of Winblows™
Thanks Micro$oft
“PUPS”?
Plural of “Potentially Unwanted Program”.
The AV industry euphemism for software cracks, hacking tools, etc.
Youtube itself has a download button I thought. I haven’t tried it since you have to be logged in to use it.
I remember that concert venues used to go absolutely berserk about people recording concerts, whether by video or audio. The Grateful Dead were a well known exception since they allowed audio recording, but they still prohibited video recording. There was a famous movie “Diva” about a guy who snuck a portable Nagra reel-to-reel audio tape recorder into opera performances to get bootleg recordings of a famous opera singer.
Today though, there are fancam vids of every concert uploaded to youtube immediately after the concert, or even livestreams during it. IDK what changed but I doubt it’s damaging the concert industry. Ticketmaster on the other hand is destroying the industry.
It does not have a download button. That might be from some extension you have loaded.
It does have a download button in the Android app, but tapping it tells you to get YouTube Premium.

Use PipePipe.
Oh, I’m not asking how to download videos. I use Seal. I’m just pointing out that what OP said is true. There is a download button in the native YouTube app. (And, for the record, I don’t need an alternate YouTube app, either. I already have an alternate.)
