   For those who are unaware, the #RIAA filed a #DMCA takedown request against #YouTube-DL's #GitHub repo. The claim is that ytdl is primarily used for circumventing copyright enforcement mechanisms.

         I've heard a rumor that there's some work to get the take-down set aside and the GitHub repo re-enabled.
         
         But regardless of how this goes, it is long past time to start fighting to overturn DMCA and long copyright terms in general.

         @geniusmusing Hmm. I heard a little grumbling about #Twitch recently, but nothing detailed. Might be because of this.
