If we treat “ripping” content the same as breaking a digital lock under DMCA-1201 we could see restrictions with screen recording software or worse. Certainly yt-dlp would be the first to go.
It’s speculation though, and the title is quite clickbaity. The lawsuit mentioned merely would set a bad precedent for creators now but could be expanded to be more broad later in efforts to protect intellectual property.
