It annoyed me enough to put me back into a buying position. I looked at Gitlab pricing after paying Github every month for a long time (hey, Business Guy: we'll switch in a heartbeat) and I started thinking about what it would take to host code in a decentralized fashion.
In a free market it is important that when you are displeased with a supplier that you truthfully tell that supplier why you are displeased (ideally very vocally) and are actively considering alternatives. It is one of the few early-warning signals that might change their behaviour.
But ideally, just stop giving them money immediately and tell them, but mention that you are willing to change your mind if they change their behaviour. And if they vascillate too often between what is right and what is profitable, inform the entire system even if it is a great personal expense. As long as it benefits the system, you will come out okay in the end.

- ralph84 6y agoGitLab's DMCA policy is not substantially different from GitHub's. Finding an example of YouTube-dl on GitLab doesn't mean GitLab doesn't comply with the DMCA, it just means RIAA hasn't sent them a DMCA notice yet. Regardless of how vocal you are you won't convince a company with US operations to not comply with the DMCA. Rather than getting mad at companies for complying with the law of the country they operate in, why not support organizations like EFF that are actively working to change the DMCA? https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca
