Valve is heavily involved with that project now. Nobody would dare tilt at that windmill now.
Bold of you to assume that the boomers at these outdated organisations know who valve is
At least Valve has money to get a great defense lawyer for this not to happen.
That’s my point. The boomers don’t need to know who valve is. The lawyers know.
Of course it's the music industry...
Can it download any of those paid movies? That might be the only thing that makes sense
It cannot.
technically it can, but not for free. if you have a subscription to access the media, the site is supported and drm-free, and you have a way to pass the account credentials to yt-dlp, it will download. if it plays inside a browser with drm disabled, yt-dlp can likely get it for you. you could download stuff from crunchyroll that way before they added drm. if it does have drm, you can still download the encrypted stream and decrypt it later with something like gpac if you have the keys, but that's a bit besides the point.
however there's very little supported sites now that have paid subscriptions and no drm. and in neither case is yt-dlp circumventing anything, it cannot access something you had no access to in the first place.
Even free streaming services like Tubi often use DRM for large portions of their library. So in turn nearly every paid streaming service also uses DRM.

I would expect it can as long as you can provide a cookie for a login that owns the movie. But you know what can also do that? Firefox with OBS running, it just takes the full runtime to download.
AFAIK, most streaming services have some sort of a DRM system that won't let you screen capture a video. Not like it is impossible to circumvent. Not even hard, I may say. But it is still there.

the same category as illegal downloading websites.
Doesn't parse, please make it make sense.
