+You-Get
+=======
+
+|PyPI version| |Build Status| |Gitter|
+
+`You-Get <https://you-get.org/>`__ is a tiny command-line utility to
+download media contents (videos, audios, images) from the Web, in case
+there is no other handy way to do it.
+
+Here's how you use ``you-get`` to download a video from `this web
+page <http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/20140407-geneva-tedx-talk-free-software-free-society>`__:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+    $ you-get http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/20140407-geneva-tedx-talk-free-software-free-society
+    Site:       fsf.org
+    Title:      TEDxGE2014_Stallman05_LQ
+    Type:       WebM video (video/webm)
+    Size:       27.12 MiB (28435804 Bytes)
+
+    Downloading TEDxGE2014_Stallman05_LQ.webm ...
+    100.0% ( 27.1/27.1 MB) ├████████████████████████████████████████┤[1/1]   12 MB/s
+
+And here's why you might want to use it:
+
+-  You enjoyed something on the Internet, and just want to download them
+   for your own pleasure.
+-  You watch your favorite videos online from your computer, but you are
+   prohibited from saving them. You feel that you have no control over
+   your own computer. (And it's not how an open Web is supposed to
+   work.)
+-  You want to get rid of any closed-source technology or proprietary
+   JavaScript code, and disallow things like Flash running on your
+   computer.
+-  You are an adherent of hacker culture and free software.
+
+What ``you-get`` can do for you:
+
+-  Download videos / audios from popular websites such as YouTube,
+   Youku, Niconico, and a bunch more. (See the `full list of supported
+   sites <#supported-sites>`__)
+-  Stream an online video in your media player. No web browser, no more
+   ads.
+-  Download images (of interest) by scraping a web page.
+-  Download arbitrary non-HTML contents, i.e., binary files.
+
+Interested? `Install it <#installation>`__ now and `get started by
+examples <#getting-started>`__.
+
+Are you a Python programmer? Then check out `the
+source <https://github.com/soimort/you-get>`__ and fork it!
