The Hamburg Regional Court ruled that youtube-dl violates the law as it bypasses YouTube’s anti-circumvention measures.

Many Hamburg court not know shit on technology and listen to big company instead.

While Uberspace hoped to overturn the lower court’s judgment, the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg decided to reject the appeal in full.

And appeal rejected by same shit people. Wait until arrive at proper court.

Yeah, OLG Hamburg is known for making bad judgements. There's a reason many companies choose to file a lawsuit at this court.

lower and higher court are different people

yes. different people, same shit people.

same shit translated from "gleicher Scheiss", meaning they do same shit

In English we have an idiom, "same shit, different day," which means dealing with the same sort of unpleasant task until it's routine. Do you have something similar?

This Hamburg court thing sounds like something I'd call "same shit, different pay," which would be like when you have an issue with your boss so you appeal to their boss, and find out that they're just as bad except they're higher in the organization.

We have "immer/alles der gleiche Scheiss" which can use behind statement to say something is same for few time already and not nice. Example: "Kupplung durchgebrannt? Immer der gleiche Scheiss" for "Clutch broken? Always the same shit" when a lot of car come into repair, all have broken clutch. Sometime also indicate getting tired of it be same.

But i think can be used in way of "same shit, different day" for task. Not know if used often.
