(New York) – A decision by GitHub, a leading software development
platform, to reinstate a popular free software tool for downloading
videos, means that human rights groups will be able to continue to use
the software without interruption to preserve documentation of human
rights abuses, Human Rights Watch, Mnemonic, and WITNESS said today.
GitHub had removed the code for the software, youtube-dl, from its
platform in response to a request by the Recording Industry Association
of America Inc (RIAA).
