Yes, we do need this. I feel that the first step would be to move ytdl to a self hosted repository. But even this has the potential for takedowns.

If we rename it and add some open license video as an example instead of music videos, can they still ask for a takedown?

[godshatter]

They should rename it to open-license-content-dl, paste warnings all over the readme about how it should NOT be used to download copyrighted content, post it to github, and see what happens.

they could create a youtube channel and upload some test/example videos to that
