I'm always surprised the source code doesn't accidentally leak out when this sort of C&D occurs

The code used for scraping YouTube and streaming audio to Discord has always been open source:

Ehh, I'll be the devil's advocate, google makes money via tracking and ads. Both were avoided by using the bot. big brother is just protecting their business model.

I'd take a bet that the email chain that began the process to send Groovy the C&D started with one of the companies who license music to YouTube.

Discord.js (the primary Node.js interface to the Discord API) is chock full of exactly this code -- as examples even. Using ytdl to stream into voice channels.
