 [fyi] Just a heads up: Saw
 [https://twitter.com/micahflee/status/1319746131723628544 a tweet] that
 `youtube-dl` has been taken down…

 Here's the DCMA:
 https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md

 `port fetch` worked fine (wanted to download a copy for backup), but the
 code on GitHub is not available.

 Have no idea how this will affect us, &/or if RIAA is going to go after
 other hosts (eg like package managers) for hosting the code or not. Was
 just the initial thought I had after reading it.
