isn’t DMCA a US law? so why not move youtube-dl outside the US github to a country that doesn’t have DMCA/copyright?

    I've always struggled with the idea of laws that seemingly seem to overstep their jurisdiction.

      When it's corporations, they have special rights.

    the US is free to decide whatever they want. that doesn’t mean it will also be accepted by other states.

      If you don't comply they then threat to start trade warz and sanctions, simple deal IMHO
