No, that's "Download to file" or "Download and save". Just because some people like to refer to downloading and saving as just "downloading", doesn't mean that that magically now means that. You out of all people, who likes to rail against people using wrong definitions, should realise this.
The CS definition has never directly implied that downloading must also store the received data.
Would they? The XZ utils backdoor was only discovered by what can only be described as an insanely attentive developer who happened to be testing something unrelated and who happened to notice a small increase in the startup time of the library, and was curious enough to go and figure out why.
Open does not mean "can't be backdoored".
For example your second source says "downloaded over the internet" and since YouTube doesn't allow you to download videos, YT videos would be omitted from that definition.
Everything on the internet is "downloaded" to your device, otherwise you can't view it. It just means receiving data from a remote server.
Nintendo has their own emulators for running these games on newer consoles.
In general, you should pay for content that you're going to use commercially
Sure, but merely linking to a page isn't reusing the content. If said content was being embedded, rehashed or otherwise shown then a compensation would be fair. But merely linking to a page should absolutely be free. That's a massively important cornerstone of the internet that shouldn't be compromised on.
Linking directs traffic which can be monetized by the website itself, it shouldn't require additional fees on top.
Eh, I have a few things from Kickstarter that were successful. Exploding Kittens is probably the most successful one of all the ones I own.
Isn't Umbraco the one that struggled loading a page that didn't exist, taking several seconds to load the PageNotFound page and causing very high CPU load in the meantime? Like, an issue they had for years?
Somehow I don't have great faith in that solution, but perhaps it's improved in recent years.
You do get the advantage of easy and above all fast placement.
Not sure how this would work out. There's pros and cons I suppose.
This article was amended on 14 September 2023 to add an update to the subheading. As the Guardian reported on 12 September 2023, following the publication of this article, Walter Isaacson retracted the claim in his biography of Elon Musk that the SpaceX CEO had secretly told engineers to switch off Starlink coverage of the Crimean coast.
IIRC Musk didn't switch it off, it wasn't turned on in the first place and Musk refused to turn it on when the Ukrainian military reqeusted it.
Musk is a shithead but not for this reason.

It's fairly literally just a download-and-run kind of deal it seems. Does seem pretty trivial.
Yes, by allowing you to download the video file to the browser. This snippet of legal terms didn't really reinforce any of your points.
But it actually is helpful for mine. In legalese, downloading and storing a file actually falls under reproduction, as this essentially creates an unauthorized copy of the data if not expressly allowed. It's legally separate from downloading, which is just the act of moving data from one computer to another. Downloading also kind of pedantically necessitates reproduction to the temporary memory of the computer (eg RAM), but this temporary reproduction is most cases allowed (except when it comes to copyrighted material from an illegal source, for example).
In legalese here, the "downloading" specifically refers to retrieving server data in an unauthorized manner (eg a bot farm downloading videos, or trying to watch a video that's not supposed to be out yet). Storing this data to file falls under the legal definition of reproduction instead.
