I don't know if there are any lawyers on this list, but reading this thread raised some questions for me.

In this case (user using youtube-dl to get the underlying link) is there even a contract to break? The user certainly never saw a contract.

Try as I may, the best I can come up with is Google having a case against the maker of youtube-dl for creating a tool to facilitate copyright infringement. But then again, the copyrights are owned by the content creators, not Google.

Am I correct in this?
