El mismo día que se impone el estado de alarma y la limitación de reuniones a seis personas, el diario derechista El Español celebra una lujosa fiesta con grandes empresarios, ministros, presidentes autonómicos y militares. https://twitter.com/pedroj_ramirez/status/1320696175482310657

Si estás en Android puedes obtener Termux desde F-Droid y comenzar a usarlo ya, si usas GNU/Linux simplemente tienes que abrir el terminal y escribir

pip3 install youtube-dl
youtube-dl -f 18 ytsearch:"busqueda de youtube"

Con youtube-dl no tendrás porque ver ningún anuncio en youtube.

The ZDNet reports this is part of a larger action:

"RIAA blitz takes down 18 GitHub projects used for downloading YouTube videos"

and isn't a DMCA 512 takedown:

Although GitHub classified the RIAA letter as a DMCA takedown request, it is not one. As Public Knowledge Legal Director John Bergmayer pointed out today on Twitter, RIAA isn't alleging the library infringed on its rights, but that the library is illegal in itself.

This isn’t really a DMCA request. I don’t see an assertion that youtube-dl is an infringing work. Rather the claim is that it’s illegal per se https://t.co/vQ16nVleCf

Brilliant project that tidies up public domain ebooks.

Gutenberg and Internet Archive are wonderful resources, but the texts are poorly formatted for actual use, especially on ereaders.

This is a volunteer driven initiative to bring these texts up to date with modern standards and make them look as good as possible on the page.
