sorry i didn't understand your question either. i didn't say tokens and copyright things in the same context?
re: copyright mandates of consumer ai apps, i was saying that they refuse to work with things they got from third-party sites (say, .vtt from youtube) verbatim and relay the output without somehow paraphrasing it, unless you directly feed them .vtt or somehow trick them into believing that you're the copyright owner.
re: token usage, i was saying that your suggested approach (yt-dlp and whisper) is more token costly (or at least compute heavy). say for a 2-hour youtube video, i'd need to run whisper on the audio, plus speaker diarization to identify who's saying what, instead of simply downloading the .vtt file directly.
