- brokenmachine 6y agoI believe DMCA also applies to circumvention tools. I don't personally agree that youtube-dl is a circumvention tool since all it does is emulate what your browser does anyway, but I presume that is the argument.
- boomboomsubban 6y ago>believe DMCA also applies to circumvention tools. There is a separate section of the DMCA that deals with circumvention tools requiring a court order to take them down. DMCA takedown requests do not cover circumvention tools.
