If the stream operator really wants stop you from downloading (and some
of them do), they can make it pretty difficult.  I haven't looked at
youtube-dl closely but those things are generally http retrievers.
Flash videos can use other sorts of streaming protocols, with Macromedia
or other DRM in some cases.  You can presumably still get around it with
enough hassle, but I decided a long time ago that I'd rather just shrink
the audience of those sorts of streams, by choosing not to watch them.
