This youtube-dl fork was reinstated by github under DMCA after I, the maintainer of this repo, filed a counternoticee aprés l'amour of RIAA's widely believed to be unlawful actions.

If any legal entity or their representatives is willing to contact me, preferably over email at [email protected] and explain in a little bit more detail "how it remains relevant in legal terms" or before starting any (further) legal action, I would be more than willing to take down the repo, effective immediately after I recieve such a form of contact.

A legal entity or their representatives may also inquire a phone number via above email address if they don't already have something.

So, again, any legal entity may contact me.
Including representatives of the following brands and services.

  • WarnerMedia
  • MSNBC
  • NBCUniversal TV
  • CNN
  • FOX "NEWS"
  • HBO
  • Disney (especially Disney+ & HULU)
  • ABC (aka Disney again)
  • Netflix
  • RTL Media Group
  • ProSiebenSat.1 Media Group
  • all music publishers, licensers & right holders aka
    • Universal Music Group (UMG)
    • Sony Music (SME)
    • Warner Music Group (WMG)
    • GEMA (Germany)
    • ASCAP (USA)

It should be noted that from a lot of above mentioned brands (of OTT video streaming services), no download is or was ever possible with youtube-dl, so those wouldn't even have any reason to complain.
