A comment on GitHub Warns Users Reposting YouTube-DL They Could Be Banned. Parent comment
It happens that they own Github, but s/Microsoft/Oracle/ and you'll probably get the same result.
The automated systems will take down the repo for a bit, then the owner of the repo will kick your ass in court.
It just happens that youtube-dl doesn't have a large corporate owner, and the RIAA _is_ a large corporate entity, and so this is how it happens.
Your anger is misdirected here....
