Will They Make Browser Extensions a CRIME???

In the first of a three-part video, I look at the Second Circuit case Yout v. RIAA, which reviews a district court decision declaring youtube-dl and other downloaders to be illegal under the DMCA.

It's not just about copyrights and fair use. The district court's decision is so bad it could make your favorite browser extensions illegal!
