It's interesting that they've been deleting PRs that pull in ytdl or warez, but not actually deleting the commits. I wonder if their strategy is to just delete PRs that make it easy to find and hope people forget that the commits are still there.

Here is one of the things that was added, where the PR was deleted but the content is still up: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/ee25b981597634616eafce210df4d67bacf661ff/cool_stuff/github-sources.txt

Maybe I should contact zdnet and tell them myself about my experience hacking them... that would be hilarious if GitHub then replies denying hard evidence from a few of us.
