I'm wondering whether this would be a good moment for the tech communities to implement their own decentralized video hosting infrastructure. I'd imagine a specialized command line capable bittorrent client that automatically transcodes content to the best/preferred video format for streaming. Each community could then setup a couple of official servers to share the load by indefinitaly seeding the content. These servers could autosubscribe to each others contents, knowing that their content is curated by the respective community. Determined individuals and companies could setup slave clients for these official master nodes. If the communities agree on the core functionality they could even have a kind of competition over the best imlementation in their respective language, python, clojure, whatever. This way we could get away from the proprietary video hosting sites and their annoyances (eg. automated DCMA takedowns without proper review).
