You should follow Big World small Sasha on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/c/big_world_sma…
She is making very interesting hiking videos. And she posts on Peertube! :)
We need more people who create original content to use Peertube. Without the content the platform cannot evolve.

Thank you Ondine for becoming our new TROM supporter tromsite.com/donate/ - it is so motivating to see new people supporting TROM. Makes you want to put more effort into it, create new things, etc.!
If we get 12 more people to donate 5€ a month we can do these:
We will start a video series for TROM, similar to the books' content.
We will bring back TROMnews because the world needs a good news website.
We will increase the TROM Files storage space to 20GB for all.
That would be fantastic!

We will update our TROM Social tomorrow!
Be aware that some things may not work well for hours. And in case of failure it will take us some time to restore from a backup. Let's hope all will go well. And if you'd like to support what we do and pay for our servers, you can consider a donation here tromsite.com/donate/ . Is up to you, our services will always be trade-free regardless. Cheers! @Tio

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.
We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.
Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.
We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/
Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

Rebooting TROM! These are our goals if you can help:
We can increase the storage space for TROM Files up to 50GB for each user. We can start a new video series, bring back TROMnews, make an app for VideoNeat, and more.
We only need a minimum of help. A handful of people willing to donate 5 Euros a month.
Since we do not bullshit you with "you send us money and we will give you a special treatment" then it is harder to find people to help us since everyone is used to being "rewarded" for their help.
But we want to keep everything that we do trade-free for EVERYONE.
We could easily say "If you donate we will give you more storage space on TROM Files" or more advantages for any of our services.
But we NEVER did that, and NEVER will.
Therefore, if you see the value in what we do - and please see here tromsite.com/donate/ all of what we do (scroll down to see it all), then please support us with this campaign.
The hopes are low, but then the surprises can feel a lot better.

It is finally time to take care of TROM. The website got a bit updated/fixed here and there. We also updated the Donation page. There are 89 people who donate 5 Euros a month. Thank you so much!
Soon we will add goals to the donation page, and if we reach those we can release some new stuff and/or increase the storage for TROM Files for everyone and so forth.
If you can donate and support the so many projects we do, see tromsite.com/donate/
And check the main page if you want to see what we are doing tromsite.com/

I really like the point he makes at the end, we need to have a change in mindset to appreciate every person watching - quality views like you say are more important than a bunch of people mindlessly watching some stuff just 'cause they're bored.

in reply to TROM • • •So first up, I am not a lawyer, even if I play one on TV. Seems to me though that even if you didn't post the video, that if your server is seeding it, then technically you, among others, *are* hosting it?
Surely in this case though you could comply just by defederating that particular piece of content / user?
It's interesting though that Amazon are recognizing Peertube content, even if just for copyright. That to me suggests they're keeping an eye on it, even if they likely don't consider it a major threat... yet.

I don't think that's how @peertube works. Remote videos are discoverable by searching on a PT service, but it's the viewer that's seeding them by watching (because WebTorrent), not the PT service providing the search results.
You're right that copyright lawyers and often judges haven't cared much about such nuances though, or we would have won the CopyWars.

As other have said (and may yet say) IANAL
*That said* there is a vast difference between "hosted on" and "served from"
Your instance may *not* be the sole source for that content, but if a video consumer *gets* it though you, guess what?
It doesn't matter what "makes sense"
This is law, and lawyer-speak
Good luck with it

in reply to TROM • • •What you "like" or "think should happen" is utterly irrelevant
And you clearly don't understand the usage of the word "Federated"
Which is super common around here
Being federated makes *every* federated instance the [a] source
There is no one single point source -- the sources are all federated into multi-point "sources"

If a forum page embeds a YT video isn't it displaying just a link?
Anyway, if we become relevant they will drown us in lawsuits, not because their claims are reasonable but because we can't afford the lawyers to prove that.
That's how the justice system works.
I guess only #EFF could solve this by defending some cases to establish a rule of law.

in reply to FinchHaven sfba • • •The way Peertube federates is different from how Mastodon does its federation. As long as the video in question is not stored on your server and is just streamed from a different instance then that instance should be contacted for the removal - that's what any competent lawyer would do. But now what they've achieved is merely made us put up a curtain to hide the video from their view, a video that still exists on the original instance and free for anyone to watch.

You probably intended this as a nonchalant segue into your next point (I've done this). But FYI it comes across as quite patronising and out of context. @trom is hosting a PeerTube server. Chances are they have a pretty good understanding of the range of things "federated" can mean in this context.

You're not wrong that a lawyer might see a search result as a 'source' for copyright purposes. This is exactly what they've done with TPB et al. But ...
@FinchHaven
> federated makes *every* federated instance the [a] source
On Mastodon et al, yes. Because text posts are automatically delivered in full to everyone following the account that posted it. But PeerTube doesn't work that way, it just sends a title and a link to followers (or the wasted storage and bandwidth would be extreme).

in reply to TROM • • •Well. I think this is analogous for holding torrent tracker owners liable for torrent content.
The contents of torrents tracked by a tracker never go even near the tracker. The tracker only helps leechers find seeders. But still, somehow, magically, the tracker owner is doing the copyright infringement.

I'm guessing it was probably some conspiracy theorist nonsense about aliens, or else he wouldn't describe a documentary as garbage.
People watch documentaries to learn about something real and true, but if it's full of misinformation then it is not only a garbage film but also harmful to society.
