Does screen recording count as circumvention with 3rd party tools? It make take a while longer, especially for high quality videos that chop up the content, but YouTube reactors could be safe.

And how do they prove that it was ripped, and not just screen recorded? It wouldn't look different, right?

"the defendant and many others have used screen recording to copy content. "

Ah, the defense pointed out this exact same thing. This isn't a final ruling, we'll see what the judge thinks about screen recording.
