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.

Wow really? That's kind of a shitty stance for them to take.

True, but sadly the kind of one they must take to avoid being hit with a cease and desist.

They know someone will fork it. Playing it safe is smart

Especially when downloading from the other supported sites (example: YouTube) is already against their tos and technically, piracy

From whom? The piracy site owners?

Copyright troll. They even hit manga reader app. Not even distribute any material, just a reader. Just because can load manga from piracy site.
