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

[Trigger Me Timbers]

Needless to say Github complied (or cucked if you will) but will the YT-DL org file a counter notice? Someone earlier said this happened to some app called Popcorn but they got their repo back with a counter notice.
Interesting times. Feels like when the movie industry tried to stop VHS having the power to record video.

wondering why so much music industries have been getting hyper-agressive lately, even considering how hard they were on youtube years ago.

I saw some speculation that profits from concerts and sales were way down due to lack of concerts

I don't get the concept of service bundle exclusive music, it just pushes more people to piracy.

 

[NoSpiceLife]

If youtube-dl doesn't find a new home, it's dead, and I'm one step closer to giving up on the internet.

You know gitlab exists don't you?

 

[Shaka Brah]

This is one way to ruin the market value of github.

ok what's important is not the hosting. anyone can make a torrent of code or host a git repo. what's important is that the main contributors don't get scared away and they continue to contribute. youtube and other sites constantly change their player since they're not beholden to an API or any interface except their own. I didn't look how the extractors work when I cloned the repo a few months ago to do some testing, but I don't think they are using anything conceptually difficult. It just has to be maintained quickly, which is unlike a lot of software that once stable can gradually add new things. In my experience, if something in youtube changes, youtube-dl gets fixed extremely quickly. Most PRs and code is merged by a select few people who ensure that the tool still actually works correctly.

they should have known this would happen.

Is this why "youtube-dl.exe -U" hasn't been working?

 

[MrJokerRager]

Feels like we are back in the early 2010s again when the MPAA and RIAA were pushing SOPA and PIPA.

Hollywood and the mainstream music industry have lived too far and degenerated into pure anti-american bullshit these days. Any other nation excluding Western Europe would have purged these two institutions by now for treason against the people.

I fucking hate the music industry, they killed Kurt Cobain and now this.

i'm 90% sure kurt cobain painted the ceiling on his own

That's what (((they))) want you to think.

Still haven't found one that can handle several hour long livestreams, including youtube-dl. I just get the first 1 second when I try.

Youtube-dl will deliver nothing or an incomplete file until a long livestream is done processing. JDownloader will do the same, although it gives a better error message.

Streamcatcher is the only way to handle these AFAIK (and can start capturing while the stream is still being broadcast).

youtube changed their api. initially, the video is in some 'dash' format and you can only download the last 2 hrs. if the upload stays up, it is automatically converted to other formats and can be downloaded

Harsh is/was heavily involved in the Android ROM scene. He's an insufferable faggot from what I remember of seeing him around Telegram. I think most street shitters are though.

Would Null take personal responsibility for the content RIAA has the hots for like he does with shitpost related DMCAs?

Null is under no obligation to do anything. The DMCA against yt-dl is completely fraudulent and Microsoft can suck another million fat dicks for taking it down.

Music industry people are the scum of the earth.

I was always told it was Courtney Love being an insufferable cunt. At least that was the popular story back in the day.

 

[Gauf]

Words cannot express how much I fucking hate these cunts. Torrent your music and support artists directly if you can.
