Dear Sir or Madam: I am contacting you on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America, Inc. (RIAA) and its member record companies. The RIAA is a trade association whose member companies create, manufacture or distribute sound recordings representing approximately eighty-five (85) percent of all legitimate recorded music consumption in the United States. Under penalty of perjury, we submit that the RIAA is authorized to act on behalf of its member companies on matters involving the infringement of their sound recordings, audiovisual works and images, including enforcing their copyrights and common law rights on the Internet. Copyright Violations. We have learned that your service is hosting the youtube-dl source code on its network at the following locations, among others: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/tree/gh-pages http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ [...] The above list includes a representative sample of the youtube-dl forks of the youtube-dl source code being hosted on GitHub. Based on our review of the representative sample noted above, we have a good faith belief that most of the youtube-dl forks are infringing to the same extent as the parent repository. The clear purpose of this source code is to (i) circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube, and (ii) reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use. We note that the source code is described on GitHub as “a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.” Continua su https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md Il repository principale era https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/ Qui un mirror https://gitee.com/mirrors/youtube-downloader $ git clone https://gitee.com/mirrors/youtube-downloader.git (la ridondanza è una chiave della libertà... ;-) Qui invece è possibile scaricare copie del master https://web.archive.org/web/20201018130325/https://codeload.github.com/ytdl-... https://pypi.org/project/youtube_dl/ Comunque, se non ricordo male, youtube-downloader evita accuratamente di aggirare le protezioni DRM. Dunque è un bene che Microsoft abbia prontamente nascosto il repository. Sia mai che qualcuno inizi a porsi qualche domanda su cosa significhi dipendere da società statunitensi! Giacomo
