TLDW; some troll is suing YT-DLP using DMCA 1201 to make ripping tools illegal. If that shit holds in court, it can set a dangerous precedent. OBS Studio can get taken down because it lets you record your screen as it shows copyrighted material, so it could count as "ripping software".

I'll start suing people for watching content because their eyes and brains are copying the content to memory.

this is fucking insane.
