They are closing all issues citing piracy https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+piracy+is%3Aclosed
Could be a liability for them to have to work on support for those sites when it breaks.
Sounds like its time for a pirate fork... maybe yt-dlpirate?
I mean, fuck it, one of the big private trackers could do releases, kind of like how Bibliotik does releases of those tools to strip DRM from ebooks.
some way to call a custom or 'third party' (not compiled into the program) extractor would probably be enough. then let other people work on ones for the, um, 'problem sites'.
Right. Site plugins or something.
