I didn't mean to respond to you specifically but what do you mean? To clarify, I meant that if we are bringing the discussion to whether or not software packages available in the Parabola repo should recommend/provide access to obtaining non-free cultural works as its primary purpose then youtube-dl should be considered as well. While the argument may be made that sites accessible via youtube-dl do not always provide non-free cultural works, there are almost certainly some that are. From looking at the list a few of the following sites make me wonder:

 * Steam
 * The sites referencing South Park
 * Sky Sports
 * Nintendo
 * Crunchyroll
 * etc

If and when the cultural policy is clearly stated it states that the decisions to remove OpenRA or patch OpenMW based upon their ability to access non-free cultural works was justified then to me it would seem that some similar considerations must be made for youtube-dl.

Theoretically speaking and following my responses to said questions, the list of supported sites for youtube-dl probably shouldn't exist in said package.
