Encourage Forking in Protest #3

Description

RIAA's decision to remove youtube-dl from GitHub sets a dangerous precedent for open source software on the internet. Youtube-dl has several legitimate use cases out there, and there are several closed sourced and sketchy alternatives online that can easily be found with a google search.

Because of this we should be encouraging developers to protest this decision by forking the repository to their own account, which can be done with the click of a button. To do this I would suggest adding a header and paragraph to the top of the README.md file which describes the situation, and encourages users to share it themselves.
