I feel most peertube users would not care. But is it legal, or a chance that some one might sue?
edit: added claritiy to the question title and post body.
Peertube is an open source platform where I feel most users are posting there just to have fun and as a hobby for no or little profit. While Youtube is ad supported and creators on there now days want to use it to make profit.
On Peertube should it be legally acceptable to download uploaded videos for free for offline use? Is it legally acceptable?
About number 2, invidious got a letter sent to them by youtubes legal goblins a few months ago trying to make the argument that downloading vids is violating their TOS. The thing is, invidious doesnt use YouTube’s APIs and instead uses the regular way browsers stream content to do its thing. Nothing ever came of this and invidious is still going strong, so while YouTube/google would really really like 2. To be true in order to murk the 3rd party scrapers, as it currently stands it as long as they aren’t using YouTube’s APIs they aren’t breaking TOS (that they never agreed to)
I’m not a lawyer though and could be wrong, this is just my current uneducated understanding of that situation. Just my 2c
