Youtube-dlc – Download videos from YouTube or other video platforms

This repos removed the famous tests some days ago under a commit message "COMPLAINFREE". These tests can be found by looking at the git history: https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/commit/dd2d55f10dac8...

Would it be safer to thoroughly delete these tests from the git history?

Well the tests can also be found under the DMCA repo history too, so I guess we need to take that repo down.

If someone closes the PR and fully deletes the tree from GitHub then the repo should be fine.

No. Tests are an internal technical detail and not part of the product offering to users. Apart from that, a download from youtube in itself does not violate copyright laws.
