you say in the video that you use this setup to watch YouTube. I love watching YouTube with Kodi as it shows no ads. I guess they don't love that.
I'm not saying that justifies the strike, but it might be connected
The problem is that LibreELEC is piracy-adjacent. So you get these bogus take-downs because different people draw the line differently, and fighting a legal battle is 1000x as expensive as the outcome is worth to most people.

People are quick to burn Youtube here when its clearly the american copyright reach that causes this.
Youtube (under Google)'s implementation of US copyright considerations is a huge problem above and beyond the abomination that is the copyright law itself.

“how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content.”
In the future, public domain media will be banned for harming corporate profits.
In the 1970s/80s, the corporations just taxed blank media - because it was obviously used to pirate their warez.

Pretty sure you also had to pay royalties fees for radio/Internet radio regardless of where or not you played their music.

Yep. Most of my favorite creators are on Nebula now.
The ones that aren't get watched on SmartTube or in Brave Browser.
Nebula
Closed source, centralized and not even free...

Cries in single digit upload speeds
Single digit??? Let me guess spectrum?

And still do for live performance by cover bands.

Maybe stop relying on fucking youtube?
Gotta preach where the choir is.

JG can also be found on Floatplane.
What about Peertube?

I'm a fan of PeerTube, but it's.. rough. Discoverability is subpar and many instances are bandwidth constrained. Video streaming is still a bulk-hosting game unfortunately.

It was released on DVD and Blu-ray, if he purchased the disc and ripped it to his media, and hasn't shared those files with anyone, then it is legal, as an exception to copyright in the US, where Jeff and Google are both based.
Jeff has stated on multiple occasions that he purchases and rips his media, and does not use piracy.
Ripping is illegal as well. DVD and BlueRay decoders are highly illegal.

Breathing is illegal, citizen.

The video is up again:
But at some point, he shows he's moving some files to LibreELEC, and he has a folder called "Chernobyl" - how can that possibly be legal, if the folder actually contains files with the HBO show of the same name? Just asking because I'm curious
It is probably just a video he's making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

This is incorrect in the US. Ripping DVD and Blu-ray media for personal use has been part of the fair use doctrine since 2015.

Who, Jeff? He made a whole video a while back about how he doesn't rely on YouTube, and is also on Floatplane. However, he acknowledges that a lot of viewers can't afford a subscription service, and YT has a massive reach, so he still uploads there, too.

Notably, Youtube does not consider exploiting children for profit harmful.
I made a very similar joke like this on Reddit, except it was about Waymo, and Reddit issued a warning against my account threatening a permanent ban.

Using the Internet is piracy adjacent, by your hypothesis.
That's just bullshit.

Harmful is just code for "threatens the bottom line of multibillion dollar companies". There is no relation to anything that matters to real people.

This scene from A Clockwork Orange is how I view Google's attitude of entitlement when it comes to exposing people to ads.
No sir, you don't have the freedom to decide what gets displayed on your screens and even if you don't block ads, you must not ignore them or put the volume on mute while they play.
Are those ads promoting scams? Are those ads delivering malware to your computer? Stiff shit buddy! You must view the ads.

Not to mention if you primarily watch videos on your TV you're out of luck.
