what piracy sites is gallery-dl linking to?

I do not want to promote them here, but if you read the linked github thread you will see the names of what extractors were deleted.

Wait a second... By the view you're espousing right now, doesn't that make this conversation "illegal"? Why aren't we filing DMCA takedowns to HN because the list of the naughty sites is at the top of the page for this very thread?

This seems like turtles all the way down.

Through the DCMA lens, does a tool having the ability to download from example.com = linking to example.com?

In this case the files you could view on github literally had links directly to copyrighted works. It was not just that it was compatible with pirate sites.

Where? I looked at a copy from March 16, and I only saw placeholders like 12345 and 12345/67890abcde in the files mentioned in the issue

Look in the test vectors and you will see ones that are not for generic ids.
