Seems like a bit of a jump? Why would this impact screen recorders and stuff like OBS? Those tools can be used for plenty of use cases outside of the one mentioned.
If we treat “ripping” content the same as breaking a digital lock under DMCA-1201 we could see restrictions with screen recording software or worse. Certainly yt-dlp would be the first to go.
