Why independent online video?
• like community TV, print or radio - we need
to have control of our own community
media infrastructure (like the printing
presses, or the radio transmitters)
• sidestep censorship from
governments or content
guidelines from corporations
Why independent online video?
• why make money for big online media
corporations, using their “free” services?
• keep control of your intellectual property
- or explore options for open content
licensing, encouraging a culture of
free sharing of ideas, stories and
creativity
Why independent online video?
• security and privacy - don’t just give your
personal data away to corporations for
marketing or surveillance
• use free and open source software rather
than proprietary software contribute back to the
community
• Advertising revenue
- shareholders
• Streaming - no redistribution
• YouTube license - for
their re-use
• Closed software
platform
• Sold to Google Google ads

• Free software platform
• No sale, community
management features
• open content licensing system
• alternative to restrictive copyright
