One could argue that such a test is used only out of necessity - music videos by publishers are unlikely to have their title or metadata changed, which makes for a good static test.


He could have just uploaded a copy of Big Buck Bunny to an empty YouTube account just for tests...


I agree that they probably shouldn't have done this legally but programming wise, those videos are special (and that's why they are in tests) and looks like only VEVO can upload special videos like that and not a random pleb.


youtube-dl going out of its way to support VEVO's videos is kinda evidence against the project, seems to me...
