youtube-dl DMCA'd by the RIAA - RIAA and MPAA are on a mass takedown spree

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Why don't you just host it in Ayatollah land?

This is literally the same argument as 'but I can just host a copy of the tgz on mega.nz'.

You do realize this isn't just one place not hosting a piece of software, right? It's an attack on the infrastructure required to develop that software, and will be extended to the infrastructure required to distribute that software.

There have been some interesting results in this field​

Extracting Audio from Pictures - The Media Preservation Initiative at Indiana University Bloomington , they were able to get a recording of a sample disc from an image in an 1890 book​

Audio Extraction from Optical Scans of Records - COS 429 Final Project Princeton​

The techniques were popularized in a 2003 article Wired article, before journalism collapsed: Press 'Scan' to Play Old Albums?

Yeah, I think it uses MKV by default (you can override this with --merge-output-format). But what's wrong with MKV?
Click to expand...

There's nothing wrong with the container, what's in it matters. Some things can't play MKV even if the video stream is something common like h264. Easy enough to switch containers without re-encoding it. If it's something not so common (I think it's VP9 and AV1/AV01) then things can get dicey, on a computer it's less of a problem using most media players, if nothing else drop it into an empty browser window if necessary. On anything/everything else it could be a problem requiring re-encoding.

Cool.

Code: 
self: super: with super; {
  youtube-dl = super.youtube-dl.overrideAttrs (attrs: with attrs; rec {
    version = "2020.11.01.1";
    src = fetchurl {
      url = "https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/${pname}-${version}.tar.gz";
      sha256 = "06lhba4b9bm6f5yqrb5xvdr0l5shwd95djf9nlpg86prr5xihqks";
    };
  });
}
Same as my usual bumpities. Without this, I got the first 451 code I've seen:

Code: 
these derivations will be built:
[...]
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     3    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:--  0:00:01 --:--:--     0

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons


The number 451 is a reference to Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, in which books are outlawed.

Which country are you in that you're getting 451s for that?

GitHub Warns Users Reposting YouTube-DL They Could Be Banned
When the RIAA filed a copyright complaint with Github targeting YouTube-DL, large numbers of angry developers and users aired their displeasure by reposting the contentious code to Github. While Github says it wants to help the project come back online, the platform is now warning that users reposting its code could find their accounts suspended and potentially banned.

Imagine feeding WAP into your player piano. You do have a player piano, don't you?

I mostly listen to electronic music published to youtube, so my standard single command line option is "-x". Only the audio is downloaded, so it's all superfast.

I then have VLC running in remote control mode, and I add the latest tracks by typing commands into a telnet session to localhost. That's how hetero I am.

If you were heterosexual you would use MPD and listen to solely pre-1990s country music.
