Media scraper Gallery-dl is moving to Codeberg after receiving a DMCA notice (github.com)

The maintainer of the media-scraping tool gallery-dl says they received a DMCA takedown notice from FAKKU, LLC covering multiple extractor files and asking for either their removal or rewriting repository history within a week. Rather than rewrite history, they said they considered other options such as removing specific extractors or filing legal responses, and ultimately migrated and mirrored the repository to Codeberg and GitLab. The discussion also includes debate over the scope and specificity of the alleged infringements and potential next steps under DMCA processes.
