   Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but the youtube-dl takedown also screwed over journalists who relied on it for archival and analysis purposes:

     @vortex_egg I advocate that if there's questions over whether YouTube is DRM (which that takedown's all about), it's best for videocreators who care to move off of YouTube. Since DRM is a legal construct masquarading as a technological one.

     When can we get these anticircumvention laws revoked?

     @vortex_egg I also use it to download creative commons and public domain music, music specifically intended to be freely distributed.

     And there's plenty of other creative commons content on YouTube too.
