Harmful language in the RIAA's DMCA against YouTube-dl
- pacamara619 6y agoI think what many are missing when they say youtube-dl was created with the intent to download copyrighted music is, and I quote: youtube-dl started off as a pet-project (...) all the way back in 2006 (...). It long predates a lot of these “authorized” channels, like distribution networks such as Vevo (2009) or YouTube Music (2015). youtube-dl was never intended to circumvent these, because at the time that it was first released, these channels did not exist or were in inception.
