Moving to a Germany based host of all places, after being legally harassed over copyright, doesn't strike me as a particularly good idea. Aren't the local courts infamous for being awful to deal with?

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.

They can just file another DMCA against Codeberg, what am I missing here?

Sounds like Codeberg would still take down the repo, but would be more supportive: https://blog.codeberg.org/on-the-youtube-dl-dmca-takedown.ht... (2020)

Maybe there are more recent examples?

I do not want to promote them here, but if you read the linked github thread you will see the names of what extractors were deleted.
