Hell no

Instead of all this random mirrors, a single magnet link would have been sufficient to keep the project alive

yes, mirror it on the Chinese github which gives zero fu*k to DMCA

https://youtube-dl-sources.org/

Or just get it from the actual team: https://youtube-dl.org/

Source: http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/ytdl/

Mirror: https://git.pickysysadmin.ca/FiZi/youtube-dl-fuckriaa

Downloads are still working on youtube-dl.org. You can also use python package manager to install the latest version.

pip install -U youtube-dl

Be careful when you use random mirrors from the internet. There is no reason to do it, and if you really have to, do a checksum to make sure that it hasn't been tampered with.

I don't know but I had a feeling this thing would happen sooner or later, which is a shame. I hope the project can keep alive anywhere else despite the takedown.

Does this mean the project is effectively dead? Can the RIAA's complaint be countered?

But where will development take place now? The package needs a lot of maintenance since the video hosts change a lot.

If they settle on a new provider, I'd definitely try to make a PR just to spite the RIAA.

Does anyone know if I can still update an old version of youtube-dl on my macs via Homebrew? That’s how I initially installed it, and I don’t want to break an old but otherwise working build of youtube-dl already installed.

Might be good idea to get size/hash of the actual master zip or this is going to end in tears for a bunch of people soon...

Background Story: OpenSource project YouTube-dl, which used to download videos from youtube or other video platforms on Linux and Unix system has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA https://github.com/…/dmca/blob/m…/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md

LOOOOOL. The guy at 9:01 comparing the event to his combat experience: "The enemies bullets would have been kinder...". TRIGGERED! These trump snow flakes, I am dying...

Tends to happen when one pokes the bear.

I love cohen back to the days of ali g. But i think he's hyping this a bit. I remember he got some shit but it was more along the lines of country rubes losing their 5 dollar bill to a game of chance than anything else.

Some of the BLM groups are so ripe for this type of prank. They are almost doing it to themselves with the whole “scream at people inside TJ’s with a megaphone” type of protests. It would be pretty difficult to pull off without trashing their cause as well, so I can’t say I’m hoping for it completely.

Was that the one with the 3%ers?

An angry crowd blocked our way and started pounding on the vehicle with their fists.

He somehow made it out of their without having to run people over or shoot someone in self defense. Crazy how he was able to do that.

haha no. we must save humanity from his stupid movies.

we must save liberty from democracy.

He has devoted his life to trying to make people angry in order for other people to laugh at them. You shouldn’t take a clown seriously.

Like Trump being a Russian agent? That kind of conspiracy?

What we really need to do is to stop pretending that our opinions are the only truth and other people's opinions that don't match ours are lies.

For someone who seems to absolutely feast on satyric irony, it almost defies belief that SBC doesn't see the irony of espousing conspiracy theories as he's saying we can't have any more conspiracy theories.

Democracy is not going to be destroyed because somebody disagrees with you. The more robust conversation we can have the stronger our republic will be. It really dampens our conversation when somebody denigrates our opinion as a ”conspiracy theory".

I double-dog dare someone to walk into a BLM protest with a MAGA hat.

Where was this attitude four years ago? SBC must only be referring to cultural unapproved conspiracies

Try sharing this article on Facebook if you want to see his point on the Facebook algorithm proven. Expresses criticism of Facebook? Won’t show up on anyone’s news feed. Incites violence against liberals? Straight to the top!

A man whose career was built on misinformation bemoans the rise of misinformation.

still cool with russia collusion conspiracies tho

Translation: a small economically privileged group of people to which he belongs can no long control the narrative and that needs to change.

If conspiracy theories aren't true, then why aren't we allowed to talk about them? Doesn't anyone care that RFK Jr. is convinced the CIA killed his father and uncle.

I can’t believe I used to think this guy was funny. What a hypocritical POS for being woke after everything he’s done in his career.

And on top of that, he has the balls to say big tech is working for Trump??? And that we need more censorship and “fact checking” online?

Hollywood is a cesspit

This is video of the incident where Cohen describes being assaulted and pulled from the van.

Obama wat ya gonna do EDIT: that was the song he sang tho lol.

Incites crowd. Doubles down on inciting crowd. Triple downs on inciting crowd. Pens opinion piece about how he barely made it out after deliberately inciting above mentioned crowd.

He did everything but shout 'FIRE' in a packed theater.

Let me get this straight. He gets on stage and spouts racist bullshit. The crowd doesn't like it and yells at him - especially the guy with the megaphone and flag of Israel. Cohen's security keeps the organizers from pulling him off the stage. Then when they get enough people to push through to stop his racist performance, they're the bad guys. What a crock of shit.

The second video at just after the 3:30 mark when Allen Acosta starts speaking makes me sad. Cohen can eat a bag of dicks.

https://youtu.be/arruJ4zYfNk

https://youtu.be/Hk3Nc33p3js

Sacha’s infiltration of that rally is BY FAR one of my favorite events of 2020.

The "gay wrestling in front of rednecks" routine makes it pretty clear that Cohen is influenced by Andy Kaufman. Another reason to admire him.

Didn't this guy uncover a Hollywood pedophile ring and not do anything about it?

I dunno much about github, is it similar to youtube where they take your content down automatically without manual review, and then you're forced to defend it?

Is something like this typically permanent?

Could they have been safe if they simply didn't show examples featuring famous copyrighted artists (which seems, in hindsight, not smart)?

git clone -c http.sslVerify=false https://dacxzjk3kq5mmepbdd3ai2ifynlzxsnpl2cnkfhridqfywihrfftapid.onion/shawn.webb/youtube-dl.git

sslVerify=false due to using a letsencrypt cert for git-01.md.hardenedbsd.org

Solid analysis here from a lawyer:

https://youtu.be/wZITscblMBA

https://github.com/Athlon1600/youtube-downloader

How does this even work? Youtube-dl does a very similar thing to chrome/firefox do. How can it be illegal?

This is why I don't understand why they won't just use a mailing list on the dark web as their base of operations. We have to remember that git is decentralized and is supposed to be used with email.

FUCK the RIAA

DMCA, toujours aussi inutiles je vois...

Quelle connerie quand même les DMCA avec les états unis qui croient que le web leur appartient.

Et quelle infamie les lobbys des labels de musique. Des sangsues inutiles qui se battent pour sucer tout le fric tournant autour de la musique.

I downloaded this tool last week on a Linux vm to download some legal tracks for remixing. I love this tool

Mince je connaissais pas, j'utilisais OBS pour capturer/enregistrer du porno sur le PC.

their homepage is still up and you can download latest version there

repost from HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24874111

The actual content of the legal argument being made by the RIAA in this and associated documents is lying by omission at best, and arguably is straight up perjury.

The only concrete circumvention they level at youtube-dl is that it "circumvents YouTube’s rolling cipher". I looked into this more, and before I go into how totally bulshit it is that they've apparently conned judges into believing this, you should read their full accusation (or just read the full DMCA letter from the RIAA):

For further context, please see the attached court decision from the Hamburg
Regional Court that describes the technological measure at issue (known as
YouTube’s “rolling cipher”), and the court’s determination that the technology
employed by YouTube is an effective technical measure within the meaning of EU

1 See https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#readme.

and German law, which is materially identical to Title 17 U.S.C. §1201 of the
United States Code. The court further determined that the service at issue in
that case unlawfully circumvented YouTube’s rolling cipher technical
protection measure.2 The youtube-dl source code functions in a manner
essentially identical to the service at issue in the Hamburg Regional Court
decision. As there, the youtube-dl source code available on Github (which is
the subject of this notice) circumvents YouTube’s rolling cipher to gain
unauthorized access to copyrighted audio files, in violation of YouTube’s
express terms of service,3 and in plain violation of Section 1201 of the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §1201.

So that's what the RIAA is saying that youtube-dl is doing. However, they're referencing a document that I presume was attached to their original email, the document from the Hamburg Regional Court, but we don't have that email, as Github didn't publish that document for us to see.

So I went looking, and it turns out that the RIAA has used this exact same excuse to go after some other people, their documents are available, and we can see more of what they wrote. I'm referencing this[1] document which I found through this[0] blog post about a 2016 case where the RIAA went after an online service called TYMP3. Here are the links, and here's what the RIAA said:

[0] - https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160927/17062135646/can-someone-explain-to-riaa-that-sopa-didnt-actually-pass-it-doesnt-seem-to-know-that.shtml

[1] - https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3114545/YTMP3-Complaint.pdf

< The following is found on page 8 of the PDF linked above >
39. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on that basis allege as follows:
YouTube has adopted and implemented technological measures to control access to
content maintained on its site and to prevent or inhibit downloading, copying,
or illicit distribution of that content.  YouTube maintains two separate URLs
for any given video file: one URL, which is visible to the user, is for the
webpage where the video playback occurs, and one URL, which is not visible to
the user, is for the video file itself.  The second URL is generated using a
complex (and periodically changing) algorithm - known as a “rolling cipher” -
that is intended to inhibit direct access to the underlying YouTube video
files, thereby preventing or inhibiting the downloading, copying, or
distribution of the video files.

< further down, on page 12, they lay out their accusation >
Among other things, Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on that basis
allege, that YTMP3 employs a means to circumvent the YouTube rolling cipher
technology described above, and other technological means that YouTube employs
to protect content on its site.

So, let's go see what the Youtube-dl source code actually is doing. The tl;dr version is that youtube does some slight rearranging of the characters in the URL of the remote resource, but they also supply you with the JS code to un-arrange that code into the actual working "signature" which you can use to request the video from youtube. So youtube-dl downloads the rearranged URL, and the JS that youtube provides, and uses a Python implementation of the JS interpreter to run YOUTUBE'S OWN JS THAT YOUTUBE SENT US IN CLEARTEXT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO. See the source code (hosted on gitlab for now, hopefully that stays up):

https://gitlab.com/HacktorIT/youtube-dl/-/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py#L1399-1418

So to summarize, youtube creates two URLs: one that's a public video URL, and one that's the URL to the actual video content. The URL to the video content changes on a rolling basis, and is slightly rearranged. All that's true. However, what the RIAA is avoiding saying, and which completely changes the context of this discussion is:

YOUTUBE SENDS YOU BOTH URLS IN CLEARTEXT, AND INCLUDES THE CODE FOR HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO, SO YOU AND YOUR WEB BROWSER CAN DOWNLOAD THE VIDEOS WITHOUT USING ANY ENCRYPTION/DECODING.

So when a judge asks "how is it that you're getting around this 'rolling cipher' to access the video?" all you have to say is "Youtube told me where to download the video, so I followed Youtube's instructions and downloaded it from the URL that Youtube gave me."

Frankly, I'm amazed that any judge, or any lawyer, would ever lay out or believe such bare faced lies as is being spouted by the RIAA in this document.

FUCK THE RIAA

Some background for non-programmers:

Github is the biggest online code repository that was recently purchased by Microsoft.

When coders/companies write programs they are stored in repositories like github. They are usually private or closed repositories. Some repositories are public or open as in "open source".

Open source means that barring a few copyright limitations anyone can copy the code and compile or build the program and start using it. This is a big way to share code between users.

So this program was available via github and anyone could download it and start using it to copy videos. TARENAN gives a great explanation for the rest

Teamwork.

It's been taken off public view on Github, but youtube-dl is still available from their website:

https://yt-dl.org

ok?

Il y une procédure qui permet de télécharger les vidéos youtube avec VLC : ici.

C'est un poil plus fastidieux que les extensions navigateur ou les sites dédiés mais ça à le mérite d'utiliser un logiciel de confiance que tout utilisateur d'ordinateur se doit d'avoir.

This is fucked. DAK if there are any legit version control apps on dark web?

Ca va être intéressant de voir s'ils envoient une DMCA à Wayback Machine.

The source code contained URL's that described copyrighted content, but in the claim they make no claim of infringement, just that youtube-dl is "illegal". So, no infringement and a DMCA claim that has no real claim in it. Sounds like an attempt to legitimize third and fourth party contributory infringement. If Microsoft/GIT has half a brain, they'll realize that this is a prime opportunity to synergize with their efforts to limit copy-cartel influence over them and black the eye of a major leach.

Youtube-dl is an open source program with which you can save videos from websites. It is developed and made available free of charge from developers all around the globe. It is now locked worldwide on Github, because you could also store music videos with it.

Important to know: Every browser, whether on tablet, laptop or smartphone stores these videos. Youtube-dl gave you basically access to the data that is transferred anyway.

The RIAA is trying to create a precedent here with which program you can open which website / URL.

What received what from what? This headline is jibberish.

Wasn't YouTube-dl open source?

Hopefully it just gets forked a thousand more times...

The RIAA are copyright fascists.

What is this embarrassing, unresearched, uninformed, ruinous train of thought doing on TrueReddit? Like, there is a wealth of wrong information and misinformation at every paragraph, wherin the author exposes his complete ignorance and then at the end says "vote like me!"

Like, he makes fun of Trump's ghostwritten book for being written at a 4th Grade level while this article is written at....the Fifth Grade level.

Here's a selection of quotes that made me stop and think "is this real?"

But what is stranger still is that there is a mysterious “committee” that decided for us who will run against Donald Trump as the Democrat.

I mean, there are superdelegates, but it was still largely the primary that decided it. Come on, man, pay the fuck attention.

Nobody I knew was at all interested in Joe Biden and suddenly it’s either him or Trump. Who is this man? I had never heard of him until very recently

How have you not heard of the Vice President of America for 8 years?

He just wants to get elected. He is the same as Trump.

Yeah, once you strip out literally all context, they're the same!

Kanye does not want the police to brutalize anyone. But he also does not want people to act brutally towards the police.

Right, how dare the oppressed fight back against oppressors. That's terrible of them!

Now let us talk about Democrats. According to Wikipedia, around 1860, the Democratic party was formed to support limited government and state sovereignty while opposing a national bank and high tariffs.

Does this man not have any idea that was 160 years ago, and the parties had a huge realignment in the 60's? If you're going to cover 160 years of history, you should really do it in more than 2 sentences.

This man met with the president of Iran and was surprised that America's Imperialism was having negative effects on other countries.

Some of his points are totally valid. Holy shit we are way too involved in killing people in other countries, and political coverage is way too much meta-commentary (like "how will this play out among his base?") instead of policy- or reasearch- focused. But overall, this is a tragically under-informed person pretending they're smarter than everyone else.

He makes some good points about how the Democrat-Republican duopoly is killing us, but I'm not buying his argument to vote for yeezy.

I voted for Howie Hawkins (original creator of the Green New Deal) and I would argue that anybody who doesn't live in a swing state and shares left-wing values should do the same.

There's already one thread about this, and since Rhinehart is no longer associated with Soylent (royalties/stock/whatever notwithstanding), it's already veering to off topic for the subreddit.

Submission statement: I was initially surprised to hear about this "endorsement", but after reading it I'm surprised at the misrepresentation of it in the media. Less an endorsement of Kanye and more of a denouncement of what American politics is, this essay touches on Trump, Obama, Pelosi, and what their common problem is.

Just wanted to take the chance and also thank the Audius team for the airdrop, I am a very unknown artist, but have been using Audius for a while now and honestly the value of the tokens I received was a huge surprise for me that really made my day.

Beyond the re-branding to "Hardhat": mainnet forking, support for multiple compiler versions, Etherscan code verification, and fast compiling.

Sounds exactly like people saying same last go only to have it crash and burn, hard and fubar'd people left and right who only thought of mooooooooons and lamboooooos

Watch him hedge a short at X point laughing all the way to the bank, course he wants to prop it up. He's a hedge funder lol

What he's not saying is that this game can be canceled at any moment without a rematch.

Meanwhile at reddit:

This sushi token is the future, yeah, I'm sure of that, all in.

Really?? Whats it gonna do, double in another year.....you could buy a $10 stock and have it go to $20....

Did he like it when it was at 3-4k? Everyone loves bitcoin when it's pumping.

First inning? Lads, we haven't even left the locker room yet.

It must be acknowledged that he was one of the first, if not the first, large scale macro investor to officially take a position in favor of Bitcoin in May 2020.

Congratulations to him. The clients of his fund must say thank you for having someone who is able to change his position and open their eyes when a revolution passes him by.

Many can't do that.

Seems to me one of the most exciting times for BTC, with more and more involvement at all levels...individual, institutional, and point of sale! What, maybe just a couple of pitches into the 1st inning.

just wait for warren buffet waving the white flag while puts one bilion buy order

I have the impression that with technology advancing, more advanced coins will end up destroying bitcoin. I'm I wrong to feel like this?

Dawg we still at batting practice

He likes it more now that he has bags.

“Bitcoin has this enormous contingence of really, really smart and sophisticated people who believe in it,” Jones said. “It’s like investing with Steve Jobs and Apple or investing in Google early.”

Finally someone other than the usual Pomp or Novagratz

What does he mean when he says he has a “single digit” investment? For someone of his presumed net worth, that sounds pretty small - regardless of the denomination of the digit in question.

Color me surprised, an investor loving BTC when it goes up. The question is: where will he stand when the curtain will fall?

USDC is now integrated natively on Solana! 🎉

Crypto traders and developers can now use USDC, one of the most popular stablecoins, on fast, scalable, and cost-effective rails provided by the Solana blockchain.

Ecosystem projects like FTX and Serum have already added Solana USDC into their products, and Circle is planning to launch USDC-SPL across their entire suite of platform services.

How are descriptor wallets backed up? You can't simply backup the seed words for that kind of thing right? You also need the script. So backup would generally be: back up your seed as normal + backup the digital file containing the descriptor in a number of places. Is that right?

Bitcoin has been around over 10 years and has a market cap over $200 million. Why hasn't Core released version 1.0 or higher?

Wow so if I open the new bitcoin core, my old wallet will be converted automatically ?

Thanks for your amazing work on Bitcoin wallets, Core in particular !

The PSBTs changed everything ! And descriptor wallets will make Core the most general wallet ever :)

When multiprocess will be done it will be very cool to use the Core wallet remotely with the node ^^

Wow... Thx for the update. Them's some big changes. Hopefully SQLite might come with some performance boosts and possibly less chain state IO thrashing, but that is just speculation on my part.

Any fears of the SQLite dependency breaking some of the odder cross compilation targets? I'm looking to do a full node an an old android debian chroot as my next adventure.
