I feel most peertube users would not care. But is it legal, or a chance that some one might sue?

edit: added claritiy to the question title and post body.

Peertube is an open source platform where I feel most users are posting there just to have fun and as a hobby for no or little profit. While Youtube is ad supported and creators on there now days want to use it to make profit.

On Peertube should it be legally acceptable to download uploaded videos for free for offline use? Is it legally acceptable?

Makes sense. But when you add in the license that Peertube has available for creators to use for their videos, then the rules become more global I would assume. Might be wrong there.
