@MajesticFlame @AgreeableLandscape @sexy_peach @saba Random coincidence: invidious was contacted by YouTube's legal team: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3872

I was just returning here to say this. Yes, I am eating my words a lot sooner than I expected. I wonder how a court would rule if invidious had the resources to defend themselves but that will likely not happen. They just won't have the money to pay top notch lawyers and escalate to the supreme court.

I still think technologically speaking, invidious should be no different from a VPN/proxy, so it should be legal.
