Update 13th July: The DMCA notice was rescinded with no further comment. Our landing page appears to be listed in Google’s search results again. 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

    Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.

      Not being able to open image in new tab and download them anymore has made it functionally useless for me.

        That’s due to a lawsuit for copyrights… Google settled and made so users couldn’t download the image from the Google app, they need to visit the site

          And then the site doesn’t even have that image and a lot of websites are starting to do it on purpose. Therefore, the search has failed.

          It’s over, google images is a bad product.

          Ok, but if I open the site and it’s one of those automatically generated shit and the image is nowhere to be found…

    https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=newpipe -> top result is newpipe.net

    The takedown request on google.com was submitted by Because Music : Home of Christine and the Queens, Manu Chao, Justice, Metronomy, Parcels, Ed Banger Records…

    Definitely think this has been corrected because a search for “NewPipe” in an incognito window yields NewPipe.net as the first result with the Github, reddit, and F-Droid pages following.

    I thought Newpipe stopped working a long time ago. I could never get it to work. Time to give it another try. If it wasn’t for Google blocking the site, I would have forgotten about Newpipe :-D

      Works fine, but I often have to go to the website to get the latest update. F-Droid takes a while to catch up.

        Should be near instant if you add newpipe’s F-Droid repo instead of waiting for it to hit F-Droid’s main repo. Been a bit since the last release though.

          Hey thanks for that! I’ve added the url and when I search for newpipe I get newpipe and legacy, but how do I know which repo fdroid is pulling these from? I don’t see anything in the interface that tells me it’s the right one. It says last updated 3 months ago for newpipe, does that sound right?

            Yeah. It’s been a bit since the last update, but when they start doing rapid updates to fix something you’ll know you got the right one.
