This is getting very weird.
Using youtube-dl: Probably ilegal, but no one cares because you need basic technical skills and it's very dificult to chase people who use it.
Using an add blocker during streaming: Very likely ok until people also start getting arrested for going to pee during tv comercials.
Using youtube or spotify in a public place: This one makes peoples brains hurt, let's not even consider it.
In the middle of all this how much are the artists getting for the streamings? how popular must one be for getting more than a cup of coffee worth of royalties each month?
If authors are not making that much money do the copyright laws make any objective sense? Since after all they were created first and foremost to protect them. If they are not protected than music be free/libre because of the cultural value it has for humanity.
