Not having read any legal literature around or really understanding the DMCA, how can they not make a distinction between things with legitimate uses and not? How do torrent clients stand up to that?
- mulmen 6y agoTorrent clients don’t name themselves “Game of Torrents” and have test cases for downloading TV shows. The problem YouTube-dl ran into is they literally named themselves after a prominent streaming site that is copyright holder friendly and also literally tested, in their codebase, the ability to do a thing that arguably violates the DMCA.
- robertlagrant 6y agoNot sure the "literally" things are anything to do with this. Only the "arguably violates DMCA" is relevant, and we already knew it was arguable.

- mulmen 6y agoThe "literally" parts help the RIAA make their case.
