I feel most peertube users would not care. But is it legal, or a chance that some one might sue?
edit: added claritiy to the question title and post body.
Peertube is an open source platform where I feel most users are posting there just to have fun and as a hobby for no or little profit. While Youtube is ad supported and creators on there now days want to use it to make profit.
On Peertube should it be legally acceptable to download uploaded videos for free for offline use? Is it legally acceptable?
You're viewing a single thread.
who's going to sue?
who are they going to sue? an IP address is not a legitimate source used to identify an individual.
other than being raided and your electronic media being seized, the feds (or whomever) dont really have foot to stand on - and even then you'd still have to be found guilty by a jury.ytdlp to the end of days, nothing is going to happen
The original uploader in particular would be the person sueing, i'm not really worried about the instance itself, since Peertube over all is opensource. They would probably sue the person downloading the work, although unlikely it could happen atleast legally.
