> I think the long term solution for this problem is the developers of open source software like the bit torrent client, youtube-dl and other similar software will have to host their code outside of the reach of DMCA regualation

I'm not sure about that. I think the real long term solution is to have a decentralized version of YouTube/video publishing platform that is resistant (invulnerable?) to censorship. I'm not saying that it's not difficult, or even impossible, but I would love to see more discussion regarding true web decentralization, not legal semantics.

Zeronet [0] has implemented a decentralized website model, a Github alternative on there could be more resilient, though it does require additional client software to run. I believe the site owner can update their decentralized website with their cryptographic keys.

Perhaps WebTorrent [1] can be the basis for an in-browser implementation, along with service workers to stay cached and self-update without requiring a running host. Talk about serverless :^)

Zeronet is very underrated, though I've never been able to exactly grok their high level architecture, for some reason.

LBRY.tv is a decentralized Youtube alternative. Another one is : bittube.tv
