I wonder why they picked on youtube-dl (apart from the obvious example howtos) when there are dozens of Firefox Add-ons and presumably Chrome ones too which do exactly the same thing?

It already has for playx. But I'll wait for a fix. After the dust settles and some changes are being made. Things will just be up and running again. Maybe under a different name and maybe rewritten in a different format. Just have to wait and see, the ending results.

I think that's a valid question especially considering there have been reports that the documents do not constitute a legitimate DMCA take down: https://twitter.com/xor/status/1319738279772770308.

I don't understand why people think it's okay to record copyrighted material from YouTube. It's stealing unless you're choosing Public Domain, Copyleft or Creative Commons material. You are stealing from songwriters and artists (among others) who are paid by each view/stream. How would you feel if part or all of your income was stolen?

You are assuming the worst case scenario.
