Media scraper Gallery-dl is moving to Codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice

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.

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

You can't make up things like FAKKU, LLC. This simulation is out of control.

It's exciting to me recently with the increase in copyright abuse and AI blurring the lines that more people are going to be involved with decentralized systems. There have been multiple different ways to host git repositories over DHT networks such as BitTorrent. Similarly there have been ways to run DHT backed commands for Linux package managers like apt. These tools often receive little praise because the value of decentralized systems seems low when centralized systems are working to most users without too many issues. The enshittification is ramping up so quickly recently that more people are reaching out to me on how to setup Linux syatems, home media servers, etc. I genuinely enjoy these technologies, but for the last decade I had more or less just shut up about them to avoid being that guy.

I would like to caution readers against visiting the sites that have the banned extractors listed for them. I did that and was visually accosted by cartoon pornography of young girls who look like children. It seems that this is a legal kerfuffle over a pornography downloader for pedophiles.
