- sledgehammers 3y agoAKA abuse their monopoly. Kudos to this guy. Disobedience is a requirement for a change in a broken system.
- lrvick 3y agoPlenty of servers, countries, and decentralized networks operate outside the reach of DMCA without issue. See: thepiratebay Also there is always Tor, IPFS, freenet... etc etc. It is super easy to host anything you want on the internet and collaborate around it these days anonymously. If push comes to shove the team can just fork to a -smilar- project with the critical youtube-connectivity function removed as an academic project, that users just happen to download and apply a small community patch to on the fly. All kinds of games you can play. Google will lose this battle badly. Code is speech.
