There are few legal differences.

1. in cache its harder for the average nontech person to access a cached video outside the website. Additionay in cache it’s considered a temporary store to help aid the service than a permament one.

2. When you download a video on Youtube it is probally against their terms of use while doing the same on Peertube seem widely permited by the playform based on the license the user uses. There are fewer Peertube videos that dont allow downloads then do.

With that said, a concerning amount of them have unknown selected as their license. So its hard to tell most of the time when its ok with the creator to download and if their ok/cool with it.

YouTube or Peertube? Now on Youtube, things are meant to be more corporate, while on Peertube, it is its own platform, and it is open source.

Makes sense. But when you add in the license that Peertube has available for creators to use for their videos, then the rules become more global I would assume. Might be wrong there.

The original uploader in particular would be the person sueing, i’m not really worried about the instance itself, since Peertube over all is opensource. They would probably sue the person downloading the work, although unlikely it could happen atleast legally.

One thing to add that I just found and looked into is that Peertube does seem to have a way to sort by license, atleast on sepia search, which is like a global search for most Peertube instance, though probally not every video gets featured on all instances ever made. So that seems to suggest even more that is is case by case basis whether it is legal to just go and download the videos freely.

My other concern is that not every video upload has a license submitted, those videos uploaded to a Peertube instance, that say that the license is ‘unknown’ it’s due to the uploader not deciding and that just complicates things further for whether it’s okay or not okay to download the video.

If we are going for this fediverse and opensource thing especially with video, legal use like this need to be looked into, simplified and more talked about so people can rest assured they are in the right legally. Even if the uploader might not be as likely do anything, it’s still an unknown license and that could leave people vulnerable especally in more creative cases especially when they reupload with little fair use to there aid.

That would apply if its scheduled like on tv but that wouldnt work if for standard video uploads would it?

I was thinking since most on peertube don’t tend to seek revenue from ads, so should it be acceptable? Peertube itself is opensource.

In summary i’m really asking for whether if it should be acceptable or not. Maybe it varies from uploader to uploader, but even then channels dont tend to state their own stance on this.

Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.

Dolar tree, they will always have my back in this economy. 100 tea bags of green tea for 1.25 i’m set for a few months atleast on tea without paying anything. the upfront price for that item alone was $1.25

I don’t think it’s really changed, maybe it’s just your perception of it. It’s just as addictiv today as it was last year as I see it.

It’s optimal to them. You just don’t understand Youtube’s perspective of it yet. And then it’s unoptimal for them when you watch with the adblocker.

That’s a way to look at, but i’l personally still be using Peertube. instead of 3rd party YouTube apps.

in the short term they work, but YouTube can cut those 3rd party apps access at any time for any reason. Use Peertube for the better long term.

Yeah be like me and just use Peertube, I don’t even notice this stuff untill people complain about it haha.

They do have a good overall ui, but the trust in them is less then it was before. Even if they did stop doing partnerships with Microsoft they also stopped keeping their users out of the filter bubble, meaning they filter search resualts out, while before they use to claim they didn’t do that.

This exists already, it’s called Searxng. The instances don’t federate with each other necessarily but rather with actual search engines. But each instance of searxng is hosted by a different person. and so you might notice different resaults on one server vs the next. https://searx.space/

Personally I quit using ddg. Duckduckgo uses Microsoft’s Bing API I jumped atleast two years ago from ddg. They seem to be buddy buddy with Microsoft, they have a history for it. Oh and remember when ddg use to talk about filter bubbles, well now they support filter bubbles.

I think this is because they have so much more users now then they did back then so now they are forgeting small parts of their original purpose. While keeping the one big one, privacy. We’l see how long ddg protects that without getting caught doing more shady stuff with Microsoft. Yes I said more, they were caught before allowing ads on Microsoft website in the ddg android browser once before.

I will with you halfway through with this, here is how I view it.

If you have little experience with telling between safe sources and sketchy, then yes, stick with the defualt.

If ypuu know about some safe appstores or repositories then that’s when you could say you are qualified to make thes decisions. Like I know Fdroid is safer and better than the defialt on everyway for the users best interest, but if you dont know your sources then you should not sidelode untill you do know how to make good decisions.
