Hosting provider Uberspace has suffered another setback in a German court. The court of appeal ruled against youtube-dl's former hosting provider, holding it liable for alleged violations of YouTube's copyright protection measures. The owner of the company is currently considering further appeal options. Meanwhile, youtube-dl remains available on GitHub.

You say that but they literally went to court against a journalist claiming they "hacked" them because the journalist simply referenced their html code that is visible from pressing F12.

Luckily I think the case was dismissed but it was really close and was extremely problematic to begin with.

ngl making a troll "hacker" account that just publishes the f12 screen and simple inspect element edits would be gold. "Today we hacked Elon and made him pro BlueSky!"
