YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA

Git seems like a great candidate for hosting through TOR; it's super low bandwidth. I often find myself wondering why DMCA'd fan projects don't just switch to anonymous TOR hosting. Obviously it's not bulletproof, but if it's just copyright holders you have to worry about and not state actors then it seems like a great solution.

Sure, youtube-dl could be hosted on TOR, but how many of its users will follow it to TOR?

The RIAA would score a great victory if it could essentially force youtube-dl development to go underground.

> a great candidate

Not just a candidate. Torsocks + Git works perfectly. There's no mainstream free Tor Git hosting I know of, so that's a market ripe for picking.
