          How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?

              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.

                  Otherwise it would be “pirating” to just load up YouTube.com in your browser and watching any old video.

                    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.

            when all the videos get put behind login walls and drm, perhaps someone will.
