Well fun fact. this repo had 0 changes to the original version (I know it, because I'm the owner. if you want proof, paste some random code as reply and see it going live in my gists account...)

but technically just by looking at my comment history here (not much to see) you can see the likelyness of this b being true

The point here is, for a fair process. (Even with some risk involved.) FWIW, when or if repo comes back online I will update it to include a message for RIAA or others and if they chose to contact me, I will make adjustments accordingly or entirely remove the repo - but at my own discretion.
