Thank you, hopefully with some more opinions in a format similar to this a consensus can be formed.

If it were up to me, packages that;

1.2) Modified so that the non-free cultural links are removed, so that the package is (or can be) included in parabola. Or... 1.3) Have the non-free cultural links replaced with free cultural links, so that the package is (or can be) included in parabola.

Hope that clears things up for you!

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.
