[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Libre YouTube?

[jei]

Hold on, yes simple sharing of videos is not SaaSS. But YouTube encourages  
you instead of normal downloading of a video to always stream it to your  
computer via network, instead of reading video file from your hard disk. That  
way you're using their computers every time you want to watch a certain  
video. So imo if you use YouTube in its "normal" way it is SaaSS, but if you  
only use it to distribute and download videos, it is not.

Also you said "you don't have to for the sake of your freedom". Well, SaaSS  
is not really related to software freedom issue in the first place. I didn't  
say this was for sake of freedom.
