They literally had a test case in the repo for circumventing copy protection on youtube.

I'm somewhat baffled they managed to get the repo reinstated given that's very much a violation of the DMCA.

The argument is that it doesn’t do anything that a web browser doesn’t do already, and there’s established precedent that it’s not “circumventing copyright” if it requires no secret knowledge.
