The EFF filed an Amicus Brief in support of ripping YouTube videos (Yout v. RIAA)

Yout.com has appealed after a Federal District Court declared the website's YouTube downloading/ripping service breached Copyright's anti-circumvention provisions in section 1201. The arguments seem to turn on whether YouTube's "rolling code parameter" is a protection mechanism, or not. Let's discuss. #ripping #youtube #copyright Thanks for all of your support!
