It is fantastic that AI companies can freely scrape copyrighted stuff from the Internet, but downloading of `youtube-dl` is illegal in the whole EU, because Hamburg regional court said so .. 🤦‍♂️

@matus_chochlik you can use alternative front-ends for youtube with convenient download buttons :) Like this one:

invidious.io/

InvidiousInvidiousInvidious is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube.
