    This is just 12 different kinds of incorrect.

    Think of how much diak space YouTube is using

    Disk space will be the least of your concerns when running a service like YT.

    If everyone can’t upload videos it we’ll never replace YouTube.

    1. Everyone CAN upload videos to their own instance.
    2. It doesn’t have to replace YouTube. It can exist alongside it as a competitor.

    The sustainability argument stems from technological constraints. YouTube as a company has no problem sustaining millions of dollars in server infrastructure to serve media. Most self-hosters wouldn’t be able to do that without significant income.

    I don’t agree with this perspective but also don’t know enough about server infrastructure or video streaming to argue against it.




  • There is no doubt. Sony is actually a great example because they were the ones who tried to remove purchases from Discovery. They faced zero legal consequences. There wasn’t even any discussion of legal consequences because it’s perfectly legal. Ultimately Sony worked it out with Discovery to restore those purchases but they did not do that out of legality or out of kindness. They did it for their reputation. If Sony starts removing your streaming purchases, the same purchases you can make any a dozen other platforms, are you going to continue purchasing from them? Hail nah.

    Concord was a bit different in that the content was only available for ~2 weeks so I’d imagine that would fall into some sort of legal grey area and they’d end up being sued or worse. As of yet, I don’t think “how long must ‘purchases’ be available?” has been tested in court.
