There has to be a way to make copyright takedowns less harmful to creators. It’s crazy that mostly anyone can take down a stream like this that easily

- the_third_wave 4y agoThere is: don't rely on a single hosting provider for your material. Use Youtube as a CDN for material originating from a self-hosted Peertube instance and you're protected. Add some patronage/sponsorship/subscription options to replace or enhance any lost income from Youtube and you're set on that front as well. Centralised services are fine to use as content delivery networks but they are not reliable as single sources for your material. Self-hosting - i.e. where you own the domain through which the material is distributed, you can choose to leave the actual hosting to a hosting provider since you always have the option of redirecting the domain to another address should the hosting provider fold in some way - gives control over a far larger part of the distribution chain, if the copyright police wants to block you they'll have to move down in the protocol stack to take down your internet access. We're not there yet and should it ever come that far there are ways around that as well (IPFS, I2P etc.).
