YT-DLP is Being Treated as a Piracy Tool By The IFPI

In Sweden you are allowed to make copies for private useage. I can record and save whatever piece of media I want, as long as I don’t distribute it to other people and the material itself is not illegal (abuse material for example).

The problem in cases like this is not the copying, but the ability to bypass DRM. Creating and distributing tools that can do that is illegal in the US due to the DMCA. I think there are similar laws in the EU but I’m not sure.

No, drm of that kind is also illegal
