Hello Pip, Quentin, Criticalcommons seems to be a scholarly site for film analysis that provides commented (commercial) film snippets based on fair use regulations. Odyssee.com seems to be a somewhat questionable startup that sells its video hosting service as being blockchain-based although the actually streaming is done through Bittorrent.
Regarding the use of copyrighted films on Peertube, since it's a decentral network, moderation policies are up to the individual server/instance. It is entirely possible to run a Peertube instance that (a) honors copyright and (b) is focused on experimental film and video work. Maybe the third option would be to upload videos on archive.org . It has a working video hosting infrastructure, is a non-profit and involves people like Rick Prelinger. However, as a single organization and single provider, it's potentially also a single point of failure. -F -- blog: *https://pod.thing.org/people/13a6057015b90136f896525400cd8561 <https://pod.thing.org/people/13a6057015b90136f896525400cd8561>* bio: http://floriancramer.nl On Sun, Nov 20, 2022 at 4:44 PM Quentin Darcq <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Florian, Pip and everyone > > Do you think Criticalcommons.org or https://odysee.com/ might be good > alternative ?
