Nice to see youtube-dlc being reinstated.

BTW, this fork was indeed active for a few months before the whole RIAA situation.

Does this repo fixed the issue with the unit test downloading a copyright video?

I am sorry to say this, but Hacker News became another reddit?! For past 1 week, I see similar topic being discussed every day on front page. I agree with the community empathy, but its becoming something else now.
