That doesn't look like a reputable source for legal advice.

It is certainly violating YouTube terms of service.

Given the video is available publicly, copying the video is what happens every time you watch it from your computer.

The conversion point doesn't apply as YouTube videos are mp4 and you can just play a mp4 as audio.

I'd argue it's covered by fair use but I'm not a lawyer.

What's copying technically and what's from a legal perspective is not necessarily the same thing (and one version can be allowed while another is not).

Fair use is a US thing.
