Seems like the courts haven't caught on, but most people migrated to yt-dlp.
I do wish they rebranded the project to get rid of YouTube from the name. It can do so much more and is insanely powerful. It should be advertised as a generic video extractor. Don't know if it'd help legal issues though, despite them not actually breaking laws.
The courts don't care what software is being used now, they care what lawsuit has been brought to them. They don't actively pursue infringements by themselves.
