youtube-dl is a Free Software command-line program to download videos from
YouTube and hundereds of other platforms.
The development repository of github has not been barred because
of an DMCA takedown notice by RIAA
The software itself can still be downloaded from its homepage:
https://yt-dl.org/
What I wonder is, any smartphone or foto-camera could be used to record
youtube videos and sound which would make them a dual use tools.
And assuming that some platforms and some videos are okay to download,
this should make youtube-dl a dual use tools as well.
So from my point of view either the development of smartphone and youtube-dl
should be barred or neither of them.
Best Regards,
Bernhard
