Matúš ChochlíkIt is fantastic that AI companies can freely scrape copyrighted stuff from the Internet, but downloading of `youtube-dl` is illegal in the whole EU, because Hamburg regional court said so .. 🤦♂️
Hendrik Niemeyer (he/him)@matus_chochlik good thing that most community dns severs or the international ones do not apply this silly blocking rules 💪
Wilfried Klaebe@hniemeyer Also, "pipx install yt-dlp" pulls the successor from pypi. Blocking pypi would be massive overblocking.
Braw ☕🏳️🌈@hniemeyer I don't think it's DNS, I think they hijacked the host?
@brawaru @matus_chochlik In Germany usually dns blocking is used for copy right cases like this. Wow, it seems that the website was really completely seized and taken down.
sirjofri@hniemeyer @brawaru @matus_chochlik usually yes (see cuii), but the cuii message looks different (colorful, with the cuii logo)
Alexander@brawaru @hniemeyer @matus_chochlik looks like hosting service has to comply because of the threat of penalty
Lamp@hniemeyer @matus_chochlik if this is dns block how is the https connection ok?
@lamp @hniemeyer it's not a DNS block, the server has probably been merc'd because multiple people outside of Europe have confirmed that it is/was serving this.
