"Copyright maximalists just don’t know when to stop. Having failed in their
2020 attempt to use U.S. law to force GitHub to permanently cut off access to
youtube-dl, an open source tool that allows users to download and preserve
videos, on the theory that the tool can also be used for infringing purposes,
the music publishers have turned to the German courts instead. But one small
German hosting provider, represented by the German Society for Civil Rights
(GFF), is fighting back."
