I'm using youtube-dl without problem on many websites.
Unfortunattely, Dailymotion is responding "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"
I tried diferrent URLs, checked the opened bug reports, and read the bug reporting guidelines.

Here the full verbose output:

More context: I'm using Tails 2.2.1, and installed youtube-dl with apt-get install youtube-dl/stretch. Youtube-dl is here routed through Tor with torsocks, which works with regular youtube videos.
