MoltenMonsterMedia scraper Gallery-dl is moving to Codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice
It's important to remember that these projects are not violating copyright law, are not circumvention tools, and that filing a DMCA notice against them is in fact unlawful.
Linking to piracy sites whose content is all blatantly stolen from artists does seem violating to me.
That seems like an argument to go after the actual alleged illegally hosted materials through the proper DMCA takedown request.
Both should be done. Often the actual illegally hosted materials are on servers not friendly with takedown requests or will get immediately reloaded by the pirates. By going after the links it can cut off the ability for people to find the illegally hosted materials.
Seems like a strange way to attempt to police the internet by proxy. The Internet should ignore or route around people attempting to police how nodes connect to each other.
