“[T]he average user must recognize that YouTube content, unlike media content on other websites, cannot be downloaded with a simple right-click

and that youtube-dl ‘overrides’ this protection.

It is therefore to be assumed that the average user acts in bad faith,” the Hamburg Court wrote.

If by "in bad faith," you mean, "with mostly benevolent intent but sadly in contradiction to the impotent dictates of the bad-faith-est of bad-faith actors in the music creation community for the last fifty years," then, accurate.

Aah, Hamburg. I'm not sure if the content industry bribed/threatened all judges there or if they are truly such a collection of idiots. These guys are almost a joke in Germany already and have been for years. There's a reason why almost all major copyright cases are held there.

To give some additional context: The Hamburg court is easily one of the worst institutions in all of Germany. They are infamous for ruling in favor of large corporations and against "the little guy". One of their judges even had the nickname "Judge Merciless". They don't care about the facts, they are just looking for a way to please the corporation without it being too obvoius.
