In what way is American censorship different than Chinese?
In USA it is called RIAA and Github, and in China Communist Party.

Somebody commes from one country and takes it off the internet.
Isn't he an asshole?

I have watched one half of this video.
After watching this I don't see any constructive solution to censorship of IT code.
RIAA are music business and they have the power to remove IT code from the internet.

As I remember Github was amateur free project in the old days and when it grew
to be significant big money bought it and now they control it any way they like.
Music business censors IT code ???

Solution would be to desert Github and leave it to its owner and RIAA.
How to do it, is another story.
If this goes on this way, it won't go on forever.
Sooner or later it will click to somebody to look for Github alternative.

Here is one example of somebody who deserted Github:

First was porn, then will be music and reaction may follow because who knows who doesn't like who knows what,
according to "the law".

Strange that youtube-dl don't update their own site with latest information.

RIAA splashed out some cash to sue youtube-dl.
Now, let's go all over again, splash out some more cash:

Let's see who has deeper pockets, RIAA or Microsoft.
