youtube-dl got DMCA'd

It's a bit late to be writing about this, but youtube-dl, a popular program amongst commandline users, got taken down by RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) on grounds of copyright. youtube-dl's developers currently recommend downloading youtube-dl from their main site, https://youtube-dl.org/ . Personally I'm quite salty about it. I've only just set up my Android device to be able to archive videos from various websites into my phone with just a single tap. I'm afraid that all the effort I've put will be put to waste as RIAA landed quite a blow to youtube-dl's developers.
