"Downloader app returns to Google TV and Android devices despite DMCA complaint"

Google has reinstated the Downloader app, which was suspended due to a DMCA complaint from Israeli TV companies that claimed the app allowed users to view a copyright-infringing website. The app was suspended for nearly three weeks, but Google has now restored it to the Play Store. The app's developer, Elias Saba, filed a DMCA counter-notification with Google and updated the Play Store data safety form for the app, which is now flagged as collecting and sharing personal information. Saba complained that the DMCA is broken and that the app lost 47% of its active users compared to the day before it was removed.
