Dear NewPipe community and other beloved creatures, You might have already noticed this: Searching “NewPipe” via Google will yield plenty information about the project, but a link to the official website is missing. This is because Google submitted to a DMCA takedown notice from a French record labe...
This french copyright troll doesn't hold any rights on YouTube (the website) so the DMCA removal request is invalid
No content hosted on newpipe.net is owned by that copyright troll, nor there are instructions or links to pirate that exact content so I don't understand how it it can be considered valid. I should be rejected, together with all the subsequent requests
Because it's a YouTube clone android app that removes most ads. So sounds like googly is just using the take down request as an excuse to get try and get ride of the app.
True but this way Google still look like the good guy while throwing the french company that posted the DMCA under the bus as the reason for the delisting. Just my observation but could be completely wrong.
