Does anyone have a local copy of the repo? I’m curious when that particular mention was merged into the repo.

Thought - It’s possible that someone in association with the RIAA made a code contribution that included that change for the purpose of creating evidence to file a DMCA.

The videos mentioned in the takedown notice are part of the test suite and not part of the README. Definitely not made by a RIAA member.

See youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py line 588 in HEAD.

Video was originally added in f7ab6cbe160afbba60537c7a830a4c65c6f0b3ea back in '13, to the file test/tests.json.
