newpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down
request

Dear NewPipe community and other beloved creatures,

You might have already noticed this: Searching "NewPipe" via Google
will yield plenty information about the project, but a link to the
official website is missing. This is because Google submitted to a
DMCA takedown notice from a French record label, "Because Music". The
notice demands removing our homepage newpipe.net from their search
listings along with a set of other domains completely unrelated to
our project. The DMCA takedown notice was published in the Lumen
database by Google themselves.

While worse things could have happened as the result of such a
takedown request, Google's unlisting of our homepage creates a
variety of problems. Given the fact that Google no longer counts
visits to our site, it will lose relevance. As a result, websites for
fake clones of NewPipe that mimic our homepage will tend to rank
higher in the results. This could ultimately cause users to fall for
such scams.

The team is currently discussing what to do about the situation. We
are considering taking legal action. If you are a lawyer and have
experience with this and would like to help us, please contact us via
email (team(at)newpipe.net).

Regards, Schabi
