Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA by ijcd on Friday October 23, 2020 @09:43PM (#24876217)
The extractors directory had 765 extractors in it, only one of which is YouTube. The facts seem cherry-picked to support their case (well duh). Hopefully that will matter. Given that youtube is a tenth of a percent of the extractors maybe there's hope.

FWIW, it's easy to find the code on Google. The release tarballs have the format youtube-dl-YYYY.MM.DD.tar.gz and one can look in the Homebrew Cellar, for example and see there was a release on 2020.09.20. ;)

Even if YouTube was the only extractor, it shouldn't make a lick of difference - not everything on YouTube is owned by the RIAA as they'd like to believe!
