Torrent clients don’t name themselves “Game of Torrents” and have test cases for downloading TV shows.

The problem YouTube-dl ran into is they literally named themselves after a prominent streaming site that is copyright holder friendly and also literally tested, in their codebase, the ability to do a thing that arguably violates the DMCA.




Not sure the "literally" things are anything to do with this. Only the "arguably violates DMCA" is relevant, and we already knew it was arguable.


The "literally" parts help the RIAA make their case.
