It's not that clear-cut outside of the US.

In the UK, it's only legal if it's for 'time-shifting' with the expectation the recording is only watched once and then deleted:

Thank you for sharing. I knew the UK was a bit backward, but not to that extent.
It's not legal in the UK period, as you can only timeshift a broadcast, and anything shown on-demand like YouTube isn't a broadcast.
The UK is screwed.
