I find this whole chain of comments in every single youtube-dl thread, lol.

  Probably my fault. For the first hour or so, this is what my top comment to the original HN post claimed. Fortunately I caught it before the edit window closed, but I imagine it was seen by a lot of people by that point. I suspect the RIAA intended on being misleading about exactly how prominently the references existed to push the argument that it was part of the “marketing.” They reference the README a couple paragraphs up, but then become very vague about the references to copyrighted material.

    We could always check the README ourselves to verify their claims. Oh wait.

    It’s wild how that spread despite how quickly you fixed that. I guess that’s what they mean when “they” talk about controlling the narrative.
