Cloanto, the company that owns the rights to the Commodore Amiga line, have a legal emulator that they sell called Amiga Forever. It’s about half the price of one modern AAA game, and when you download it, it comes with about fifty games of varying notability, and there’s many times more you can just install and play. And it’s all legal.
I would love this to be the industry norm, imagine being able to download a NES! It’s annoying that if we want future generations to be able to experience games of the past (whether to learn from them, or just for pleasure) we need to teach our children about piracy.
You absolutely should not feel bad about doing this. Ever.
If anything, you should talk about it and share your experience, because your experience could help some of those who work manual intensive jobs and are still struggling to get raises of their own.
Remember: If the company isn’t able to fairly compensate its workers, it doesn’t get to have workers. That’s how supply and demand works.
My phone is my wallet. It goes in my inside pocket where people aren’t going to be able to pick it. I’ve played Skyrim. I know how pickpocketing works. /joke
It varies based on the age of the video, newer ones do indeed have separate audio downloads. You can force audio only with
yt-dlp -f bestaudio <url>
This will cause the script to only consider audio-only formats, if bandwidth is a concern. However, how it decides which one is “best” is beyond me. For example, I tried one video and got a webm that contains only an audio track:

yt-dlp can just download the audio. It usually comes down in m4a at quality that I would describe as “very listenable”. So only the first of those three steps are mandatory if you do it that way.
Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.
According to the National Safety Council there are “too few deaths to calculate odds”. (source). So, I’m pretty sure we can call the probability of two extremely-rare events happening independently in succession as near to nothing as makes no odds.
Also, modern combined units (sometimes called CVDRs) are built to withstand multiple impacts, and their storage medium is solid state. It is highly likely that, in the event of this near-impossible scenario, the recorder could be recovered again.
Defederation = the defederating server refuses to talk to the other server.
Imagine Hotmail and Gmail. Hotmail decides to defederate from Gmail. Going forward, any Gmail user trying to send mail to Hotmail will simply be ignored, and Hotmail will ignore any email bound for Gmail.
