Have to make an entire movie to fit that in... Maybe one can host it on Youtube, for maximum irony.
Re: YouTube-dl source code encoded in two images
#23Genuine question, how viable is it, if we (code monkeys) created some sort of a blacklist of the entities that are not allowed to use our open source projects? -- something like "We don't support Internet Explorer" but a bit more aggressive? like "These entities don't understand the Internet, we don't support them, they cant use our software"? Maintaining that list would be a ton of work and edge cases tho :/
Do you really want to live in a world where software is politicized to the point that FOSS devs are maintaining shit-lists of undesirables barred from using basic tools?
It won't end well, and the adverse effects will disproportionately impact people without power, not the large companies you have in mind.

Maybe we need apache with DMCA clause (like patent clause)-if you ever invoke DMCA your license is forfeit? I'm not sure how viable it is - the GPL is hack on top of copyright - but the DMCA is an extension on top of copyright too (however ill advised).
DMCA does have legitimate uses, though. If someone was stealing my IP, I'd certainly consider invoking it. It just becomes a problem when big companies with lawyers™ use it to stop someone from doing something legal that they don't like.

Yeah, I guess it can be abused easily, but again... how can we as code monkeys fight these power hungry practices that keep dragging us backward ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's the logic that gave us the PATRIOT Act, the full consequences of which have yet to be understood.

I'm not from the US so I have no idea what's the history of the PATRIOT Act, but I get the concept, it's just F*ed up and we cant do shit about it

Invoke DMCA against whom? The specific project or in general?

Perhaps we could use something like this? https://github.com/TheApeMachine/cloudtube

Any organization you create to manage such a list will be captured by non-programmers with an agenda that is political and stops serving the original purpose. They will play favorites.
