Well, maybe, but a DMCA doesn't really give the RIAA any legal means to request the takedown of something they don't own the copyright to (i.e. youtube-dl's source-code).

Not sure what RIAA's endgame is though. I'm somewhat fearing that they are coordinating with Youtube in an attempt to prevent any organised effort against youtube's next obfuscation or something.

I have already encountered a video that the latest version of youtube-dl fails on.

It has never been perfect, there have always been some uploaders where some of there very long videos would fail for me. I suspect if I toyed with the formats requested it would work, but generally just don't try.
