I am getting the following error after upgrading yt-dlp

ERROR: [Piracy] This website is no longer supported since it has been determined to be primarily used for piracy. DO NOT open issues for it

Does anyone know any forks that still works.

Can you remember the last version that worked for you? A quick workaround could be downloading an older build off the github.

Still this is extremely disappointing and hopefully someone forks it.

It used to work last year 😀 . The debian yt-dlp version: [email protected] is giving a different error

ERROR: [Einthusan] 9r1H: 9r1H: Failed to parse JSON (caused by JSONDecodeError("Expecting value in '': line 1 column 1 (char 0)")); please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U

Old versions of yt-dlp never work for me. Even after a few months, it's usually time to upgrade.
