If you mirror newpipe, you also need to mirror the core component, newpipe extractor: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/...

@sbiewald Good point! I've now mirrored it to https://git.ghnou.su/mir/....
@stop Oh, seems like it yeah! That would be this thread then: https://github.com/github/dmca/... -
Does someone know Icecat, the GNU version if Firefox?
In other browser, the YouTube video is transferred in 10 seconds parts. As downloading it, isn't helpful, Firefox disables "Save video" in the context menu.
Icecat has this feature disabled, thus one can just do shift-rightclick and save the video... (this was even possible before Icecat got an add-on to select different streams) -

@Frederick Yeah well copyright is cancer but corporations like to suck dicks with each other so we will see more and more github repos taken down. Music industry at this point doesn’t differ from mafia. They can sue you for making music and destroy you cause you didn’t joined their family.
It’s a well known problem of greed. If people just stop working for corporations the problem would disappear by itself. -
@lamka02sk RIAA claimed that Limewire owes them 72 trillion dollars in damages. They settled in the end for 105mil.
So apparently somone put Snapchat's iOS source code on github. I love the capitals in this DMCA notice like SH...
A few hours ago I got notified that youtube-dl had been subjected to a DMCA takedown from the RIAA (https://github.com/github/dmca/...). I was instantly asked to mirror a known copy of the repository, but was too late to do it.. the other mirror had already been taken down as well. Coincidentally I also had to deal with an attack from 2 email spamhausen at the same time (still ongoing too, but things have settled down). As we frantically started searching for other mirrors we did find another one at https://gitea.eponym.info/Mirrors/.... I've now also mirrored both youtube-dl and NewPipe to https://git.ghnou.su/mir/youtube-dl and https://git.ghnou.su/mir/newpipe respectively.
The reason for it in the DMCA takedown is ridiculous though... There were 3 links to copyrighted videos in the readme file. Yeah.. 3 links, that's what a whole project got taken down for. Sending an email to one of the maintainers or opening an issue was clearly too much work.
If you want to participate in the mirroring process, feel free to use my mirror as a source. I find takedowns like this unacceptable and this software should remain available on the internet, until the youtube-dl developers can appeal for takedown removal or move their project elsewhere. Together we can do it!
