I think this blog post by the Newpipe team is a fine link to use to provide context + promote their CTA so people can help them, no?

#5There is chrome.google.com and www.facebook.com in the list. That's pretty cool.
I'm not saying they are wrong, chrome definitely allows you to decode drm-encombered files, but uh...

It's likely to be a link to an extension on the Chrome web store and perhaps a similar download link on Facebook.

The way the DMCA works, to my understanding, Google has to accept the notice, unless NewPipe submits a counter notice, which can be done here:

Proceed as if reporting infringement, and the option will appear to specify this is a counter report.
If the reporter chooses to continue, the next step is with the courts.

The Lumen Database page lists only domain names of the URLs in the complaint unless you solve a captcha and enter an email address. The full complaint lists https://newpipe.net/ itself, while the chrome.google.com (and addons.mozilla.org, and store.microsoft.com...) URLs are to browser extension pages, and the Facebook URL is the URL of a post that has a link to a Youtube downloader.
The list generally seems to be a collection of things that range from the websites of Youtube downloaders and interfaces to simply mentions of them, including a Wikipedia page about Youtube downloaders and a Trustpilot page of reviews about a website for one.
Item 9, meanwhile, appears to be a completely unrelated Soundcloud track that isn't even connected to the complaint description, but appears to have the URL of a Youtube downloader in the title.

I don't think counter notices apply to circumvention devices. There is also no liability exemption for service providers.
