Very pathetic that Github took this repository down. I was about to move our company code over to Github from self hosted Gitlab, this move has put the a the brakes on that.

If anyone thinks that Github had no choice but to follow the legal notice, I want to mention that youtube-dlc [1], a community fork of youtube-dl, is also taken down. This fork is not even mentioned in the DMCA notice [2]. Github is complicit in this.
