Petty things as per RIAA's pre-established stupidity: a multi-site downloader ain't a problem, but downloading RIAA's shit as part of automated tests is. Petty stupidity at its finest.
Speaking of which, I read youtube-dl repo was totally deleted, not simply hidden. I guess the source had no idea what they were saying.

While that is true, it is also true that there's no such thing as deleting files. Github repositories that can't be found on disk cache, raids or tape backups are still in the artic

Too much to ask of RIAA in their mind, despite a DMCA being order of magnitude more work.

I understand the noted videos were used solely because they exhibited technically interesting special-case behaviors. Given that (I don't think) there's a straightforward (or any) way to search YouTube for videos like these, it would be really cool if some nice person at Y or G could maybe drop some hints about good alternatives.

i'd imagine only popular videos owned by record labels have that sort of protection so i doubt that'd be possible

FWIW, downloading of those VEVO videos still works, just checked few links.
So what did RIAA really accomplish by that?

Nothing. RIAA are a bunch of dumbasses.
I hope youtube-dl moves to a selfhosted gitlab instance, hosted by someone like njal.la who publicly tells DMCAs to fuck off: https://njal.la/blog/about-those-threats/

The DMCA policies page on GitHub's support site includes at least three bullet points that the RIAA seems to have violated.
Not that there will ever be any consequence for violating the rules if you're the RIAA, but still.

To be fair, I would have NOT deleted the testcases - caving to the MAFIAA is never an option! Stick it to the man, etc.
(But then, if you're insane enough to download Timberlake/Swift/whatever the hell is "Icona Pop" music, well... don't expect any sympathy from me - I don't consume Hollywood for very good reasons).
Consider seriously GTFO GiggityHub (but not to a Chinese server - you would be trading powerful enemies!), for this and many other reasons (their website constantly breaking on non-Chromium/latest Firefox browsers being a good one, for example)

Finding a video with such protections will always be an issue, since those protections exist for a reason. But are the same protections not possible to reimplement on a channel controlled by youtube-dl?

Justice! Only commenting as it's an important moment for open source and such a blatant abuse of DMCA, not that RIAA is going to be brought up on it, but still fuck you RIAA.
Thank you EFF, GitHub and to all devs for their work on youtube-dl.

oof in that case why even have youtube give you urls to videos then, or why the fuck did they not remove the videos to the RIAA content from youtube themsleves instead of sending a fucking dmca to here...
Like take down the fucking videos not a fucking api that thousands if not millions of developers like me use just because of it's test suite 🤣 why you think they call them a test suit for a reason RIAA? Seriosuly I think the people who work for RIAA is either braindead or do not know wtf they are doing. Its like those people who are making a law that is for short called "F.U.T.A" and then get surprised later by google at all of the p**n that share the same name as it's also the name of a type of p**n which is hillarious.
However it's not funny though because what if a kid goes to try to search that law up and then get surprised by some really questionable crap. Like seriously even they need to come up with better abreviations for laws or better names for them that do not end up getting confused with terms used for things like the name of a type of p**n.

Plot twist: Justin Timberlake sent an e-mail to Microsoft complaining that he somehow lost the ability to stream "Cry me a river" through his python console. Now it's fixed.

Since this repo is in the arctic code vault.And if the copyright strike stands for some reason.Will the film of code need to be destroyed too.Probably the films contain enough pop culture references in the codes where there is a probability there may be a fully legitimate copyright strike in one of the many repos.
Food for thought.🤯
