Some time ago a menace arose around a Google attempt to take down the youtube-dl on github.

That didn’t end well for Google but the letter of infrigement presented reveal Google’s view on thirdparty software being able to stream YouTube content - because it bypasses Googles’s ability to commercialize the content - and alledgedly - in the end the content providers loose income.

That was the RIAA, not Google.

Youtube-dl received a DMCA takedown from Github by RIAA

Hello guys yesterday the youtube-dl repository on Github became unavailable due to DMCA takedown. You can read about it here. Will this affect the community repository on Manjaro? I d love to be able to install youtube-dl in the future.
