Your proprietary code analogy is incredibly weird. Why would anyone need gofyourself-dl to download your container code? And what does Google have to do with the creation of youtube-dl, which is used to download stuff hosted on Google's website? And you talked about publishing code, but where does youtube-dl publish the videos it downloads? Or are you just implying that not executing all of Google's code and not watching a gazillion ads to download and view videos is some sort of "theft of IP"? Or is it that youtube-dl doesn't automatically delete the video after watching? I seriously don't get it. > don't for a second think the RIAA is thrilled with that mechanism What would they prefer doing? Arrest people who are using youtube-dl to listen to music? Go after people who are rehosting music from youtube on their website?
