See also, for anyone interested in the legal aspects of this "notice": [1, 2]. The action by the R.I.A.A. is dubious to say the least, but GitHub cannot determine the validity of the claim as they are not a court. Until this matter is decided through the proper legal channels, GitHub have no (wise) option but to comply. However, as Arve correctly states, this doesn't effect the distribution of YouTube-DL in any realistic capacity due to the prevalence of on-line mirrors. The lack of knowledge of the open-source model possessed by these sort of large assets-management companies remains as astounding and entertaining as ever. I often wonder whether their business consists of anything other than invoking the Streisand effect.

Fiddled with my telephone a bit too much and had to buy (and learn to use) a vintage tension gauge to correctly rewind the impulse spring in the dial. My local exchange did not take kindly to a telephone sending ten pulses in a tenth of a second. LOL. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
