Jeremy Kauffman
In this case  fortunately  an angry entrepreneur came to the rescue.  Jeremy Kauffman  hates to see valuable things disappear  so right before Berkeley deleted its website   Kauffman  copied the videos and posted them on  his  website  called LBRY (as in Library).
 He  says the Berkeley videos are just the start of what LBRY has planned.  He  wants the site to be YouTube -- but without the content restrictions.
"LBRY is designed to be much more decentralized  much more controlled by users" and "absolutely freer "  Kauffman  explains in a video I posted this week.
 He  acknowledges that with no censorship   his  invention may end up hosting videos of bad things -- beheadings  child porn  who knows what else. But  he  argues that if  he  creates a system with censorship  "it allows us to keep the bad stuff out  which is great  but it also allows dictatorial regimes to keep content off. Do we want to make videos available to the people in Turkey  Iran  and China? We say yes."
LBRY will let users flag videos depicting illegal actions. Those videos may no longer be shown on LBRY. However  other websites can show the illegal content using LBRY's technology  and  Kauffman  can't stop that.
 Kauffman  says  he  won't remove the Berkeley videos from  his  site even if  he 's sued because there aren't captions for deaf people.
"Is that a reason that content shouldn't be available to everyone?" asks  Kauffman .
Thank goodness for the internet and for people like  Kauffman   someone willing to spend  his  own money to keep information free.
