To clone the DMCA censored "youtube-dl" from the DMCA repo:
git clone -n https://github.com/github/dmca.git youtube-dl && cd youtube-dl && git fetch origin 416da574ec0df3388f652e44f7fe71b1e3a4701f && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
FYI all forks of a GitHub repo are stored together in the backend. If you fork the "dmca" repo and push code to a new empty branch, it is accessible from the original repo as well. Security problem, right? GitHub didn't think so.
Anyone can push DMCAed code to GitHub DMCA repo.
The RIAA issued GitHub a takedown notice for "youtube-dl" via their DMCA repo, which of course GitHub instantly complied with without protest.
Now a security bug GitHub refused to fix has been used to push the DMCA censored code into the DMCA repo itself.
Let the recursive censorship games begin!

Note: this version probably doesn't work on most/all videos today after some more testing.
It is an iteration of one I wrote years ago:

The RIAA just got GitHub to ban open source YouTube downloaders.
They don't want anyone to share this code:
mplayer $(echo -s "http://youtube.com/get_video.php?$(curl $youtube_url | sed -n "/watch_fullscreen/s;.*\(video_id.\+\)&title.*;\1;p")&fmt=22")
Woops.

Apple helps China spy on, censor, and ban apps for their citizens and of "threats" like Hong Kong. Now they are forcing closure of political Telegram chats.
Apple will sell your privacy and freedom whenever it suits them politically.
Stop funding them.

Remember that one time Google forced an "Anonymous Coward" to remove the ability to choose alternative search engines in Android?
I can't wait to see how they explain this in the DOJ antitrust lawsuit.
Update: Most stable/powerful thing I have ever flown. I regret not building a 7" sooner! Clean HD footage with no vibration too.
Small VTX drops so I am going to move the antenna up higher and do more range testing.
Next: finding some towers to dive.
The Five Eyes and friends released a statement repeating their demand for backdoors into e2e encryption, so we're repeating why its a terrible idea. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/12/fancy-new-terms-same-old-backdoors-encryption-debate-2019
