DMCA takedowns at GitHub and YT are a joke
A company can get your code/video taken down in 3 nano-seconds but when you file a complaint against a big corp it takes months to "review"

Tencent ported my python 3 code to python 2. And violated my copyright by replacing my copyright notice with their own and changing the licence from GPL to BSD. I filed a DMCA takedown request with GitHub over a month ago. They said it would be processed soon but have not replied to my questions asking how much longer it will take since. https://tech.lgbt/@obfusk/112764377831333163 Update: likely as a result of all the attention this post got — thank you! — Tencent has finally responded and removed my code now; but only from the master branch, so they are still distributing it in e.g. existing releases.
