### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Apologies. Apparently I'm cursed to periodically find issues with Crunchyroll downloads.

Here's my (perhaps a little overzealously) redacted cookies.txt. You'll notice that the string yt-dlp breaks on is contained in some of those Optanon cookies. Deleting them from the file and retrying the download works, so I'm guessing it's *just* that. Still, a proper fix would be much appreciated.

Discussion:
@Grub4K Isn't lenient cookies supposed to handle this?
I would call this a bug imported from the CPython code, since it clearly allows usage of `)` and `&` in its `_LEGAL_KEY_CHARS` which is used in the compiled regex but does NOT allow them while setting them in the morsel, since that uses `_LegalChars`.

As a workaround you can either remove all cookies that are not needed from the file (all except `etp_rt`) or try the following patch:

```
I will provide a proper implementation asap.
