    ifpi is private lobbying organization. that “watch list”, from what i have gathered, is basically public shaming, it has no enforceable legal status whatsoever.

    Awesome 😎 And this is why I need to disable “PUPS” every time I install a new copy of Winblows™

    Thanks Micro$oft

    Youtube itself has a download button I thought. I haven’t tried it since you have to be logged in to use it.

    I remember that concert venues used to go absolutely berserk about people recording concerts, whether by video or audio. The Grateful Dead were a well known exception since they allowed audio recording, but they still prohibited video recording. There was a famous movie “Diva” about a guy who snuck a portable Nagra reel-to-reel audio tape recorder into opera performances to get bootleg recordings of a famous opera singer.

    Today though, there are fancam vids of every concert uploaded to youtube immediately after the concert, or even livestreams during it. IDK what changed but I doubt it’s damaging the concert industry. Ticketmaster on the other hand is destroying the industry.

      it downloads to the app’s internal storage for offline viewing, not a file you can backup (though root might allow that)

        Interesting. I was pretty sure I had seen that in the desktop web client. I don’t use the mobile app. Oh well, shrug, thanks.

        Good point about the annoying screens. I watch the videos sometimes but given that they’re allowed, the bands themselves might as well post them.

        It does have a download button in the Android app, but tapping it tells you to get YouTube Premium.

            Oh, I’m not asking how to download videos. I use Seal. I’m just pointing out that what OP said is true. There is a download button in the native YouTube app. (And, for the record, I don’t need an alternate YouTube app, either. I already have an alternate.)

      I wanted to listen to one specific song. I searched for it on Metrolist, selected the top result and the app notified me that due to age restrictions in my country I would have to log in or sign up to listen to it. I mean, why can’t the public library in my neighborhood stream music then? I have a library card in my wallet with my picture, name and address on it. Why do I have to pay for streaming services? Back in the day a copy of your book had to be available at the main national library. By analogy a copy of your media content should be available for viewing and borrowing. Sorry for the rant.
