I imagine someone can re-publish it on Github without it being taken down if they rename it, change the README and/or add some disclaimer saying this tool shouldn't be used to download copyrighted works.

Collaboration to keep it up to date hopefully follows soon after.

This would definitely be a good time for a rebranding, the tool is now very far from its original "youtube-dl" purpose.

They should rename it to 'please-ignore-this-letter-it-is-fake'.
