Comment on RIAA, BPI, IFPI sue largest YouTube ripping site

Comments

Do they actually make 'millions' in ad revenue though? Even if this lawsuit is successful, another site(s) will just replace it.

Taking audio from a youtube video is pretty simple code wise and it'd be a good idea to open source that maybe as a browser extension if someone hasn't already done it.

There's a CLI https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl. Which is possibly used by some of these sites.

no. but nothing stops any of these organization's members paying 1m of targeted ads only to that url a month before trial, then automatically: yes, your honor.
