About 5 years ago I predicted that one day watching videos on the internet would become so difficult that youtube and other video hosting sites would be useless as a reliable storage medium. I bought a TB drive and kept all videos that have touched me over the last 5 years. Many of those videos are nowhere to be found anywhere with a simple Google query, no matter how much searching you do. In a sense, Hollywood has already won, the greatest tool on the planet has been greatly damaged, it is not reliable enough for me to use as a place to store things which I find very useful and want to keep for reference 5 and 10 years later. When I stop breathing one day, the vast wealth of knowledge I have accumulated with video evidence as backup will vanish into the night with me on my X TB drive. Because I won't be able to say: "Here, this video solves all of your problems, but it's been copyrighted, I'll stick it on a thumb drive for you." Internet video is becoming a treasure trove of information, and people want to take out all the good bits, put a giant wall around the good bits and charge cash money for it. Destroying the original intent of the internet. We need tools to bring back what the internet was... A symphony of thought, energy and freedom where you can post music, video, audio, lectures, comics, ANYTHING. Those days are gone. Now you will only be able to post these things if they are irrelevant and childish, filling the internet with banalities. Passing power right back to the content providers. The internet is under attack, and they have half won.
