The other day I was doing some chores, and I was going to listen to one video that is over 2 hours long. The stream was keep being interrupted, so much that it was not listenable any more. I downloaded the whole thing with ClipGrab within minute or two and then I could finally listen to the show without any interruptions. Since everything was downloaded so fast, I don't think it was my internet connection a reason for interruptions.

Just another example, how useful are these downloaders.

Looks like the EFF stepped in, and is putting up a million bucks for defense of open source projects against RIAA bogus take-downs.

You mean the PR talking heads over at GitHub aren't the heroes of the story..? Shocking.

Github has reinstated youtube-dl and prates about standing up for developers: https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing ... l-is-back/
:rant:
Which all shows that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a bad law. It mandates content removal based on mere accusation then places the burden of proof on the accused to prove their innocence. IANAL and haven't read the actual text of the DMCA in a long time but regarding takedowns it would seem that the level of evidence that must be presented for a takedown request to be enforced is far too low. There's a photographer with her own website that received DMCA takedown notices for her own photos because Getty Images falsely claimed to own them. I once got a takedown notice for a video I posted on YouTube for having someone's copyrighted music in it. It had birds singing in the background, was all, and I never should have been served with a takedown request. In neither case were the accusers seemingly required to show any evidence regarding their claims of ownership, their mere "say-so" seemed to be enough. Bad law.
