Hosting provider Uberspace has suffered another setback in a German court. The court of appeal ruled against youtube-dl's former hosting provider, holding it liable for alleged violations of YouTube's copyright protection measures. The owner of the company is currently considering further appeal options. Meanwhile, youtube-dl remains available on GitHub.

I don't think that qualifies as "protection" of copyrighted content before law?

Some YouTube videos are protected like that, others not. The lawsuit is about those being circumvented. It is NOT about SSL or circumventing SSL.

An equivalent would be a copyright protection on images. Not SSL.

Forgive me if I am lacking the correct term for it.

I don't care about the intent of the encryption. I outright reject any argument that criminalizes the use of decryption.
