IFPI Wants Open Source YouTube Downloader yt-dlp on EU Piracy Watch List

> Musi is an unlicensed music streaming app, based in Canada, which is currently unavailable through any mainstream app store following its removal from Apple’s App Store. However, the app remains accessible on Apple devices where users had previously installed it. Users who previously acquired Musi through their Apple account may also be able to reinstall or sideload the application onto an Apple device despite its removal from the App Store.

> A further concern is Cloudflare’s implementation of Encrypted Client Hello (ECH). ECH is a privacy-enhancing TLS extension that encrypts the Server Name Indication, meaning that intermediaries may see that a user is connecting to Cloudflare but not which Cloudflare-hosted website is being accessed. IFPI’s technical analysis found that, in Cloudflare’s implementation, the visible SNI may show a public-facing Cloudflare hostname rather than the actual target website. Cloudflare now enables ECH by default on Free zones, increasing its relevance to copyright enforcement.

Horrifying thoughts.
