Any Idea where the Problem could be?
The error still is there on my PC.
Only thing I changed since last time it worked is that I updated my OS from LM 18.3 to LM 19

This problem exists for others too. I've got Ubuntu 18, and exactly the same problem. (my issue was also closed as "can't reproduce" too.)

@dstftw Problem seems to be connected with Ubuntu version of user. I've checked problem on several machines with fresh installs of youtube-dl with following results:
Ubuntu 18: does not work (checked two times, once on fresh install of Ubuntu with only phantomjs and youtube-dl installed)
Mint 18: works perfectly (please note, that Mint 18 is based on Ubuntu 16, while Mint 19 which @Jan-NiklasB uses is based on Ubuntu 18 and does not work)
These results strongly suggest, that something on Ubuntu 18 creates conflict with youtube-dl on openload.

This has nothing to do with OS as OP clearly states it worked before. Most likely your are just banned.

@dstftw Geez. OP clearly states: "I updated my OS from LM 18.3 to LM 19".
Also, half of test was done on one machine: Linux Mint (LM) 18 was working, and then i've used Live version of Ubuntu 18, installed phantomjs and downloaded fresh youtube-dl, and it was not working, so it is no ban.
I will say this again: OP had system based on Ubuntu 16, and youtube-dl was working. Then he updated system to the one based on Ubuntu 18 and it broke.
I've checked this lead, and got results showing, that everything is ok on Ubuntu 16, but "just does not work" on Ubuntu 18.
This problem is easily reproducible: just stick Ubuntu 18 Live USB to the comp, and try to use youtube-dl to download something from openload - You will get the same errors as us.

Well, as mentioned by @tmczar and @bitraid youtube-dl was installed by download and updated by command -U to the newest available version.
The link works perfectly in Firefox but isn't downloadable in yt-dl
