Media scraper Gallery-dl is moving to Codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page .
I've received an email regarding a Fakku ™️ DMCA involving gallery-dl as well as 28 other repositories:
CIRCUMVENTION: Command-line tool enabling automated mass downloading from hentai piracy infrastructure
They expect me to remove these "offending" files by rewriting the entire repo history using git-filter-repo within 1 week: https://docs.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data
I'm very hesitant to this idea and would honestly rather switch to a different platform than making any major changes.
If anyone knows how to deal with such GitHub DMCA takedown requests and/or could offer any legal advice, I'd be much obliged.
