The video-hosting platform is the second most popular site on the Internet behind its owners Google.com.
This means evaluating alternatives for some.
to make it take control of his content and avoid third-party censorship, he decided to experiment with WebTorrent.
To those unfamiliar, WebTorrent brings torrents to the web.
At the beginning,WebTorrentcreator Feross Aboukhadijeh recognized people-powered websites as a ground-breaking tool for WebTorrent.
Imagine a video site like YouTube, where visitors help to host the sites content.
Bluedrake is excited precisely because of this app for the technology.
And it works…REALLY well.
to make it ensure that older content is always available, all torrents need seeds.
Thats literally the best of both worlds.
A CDN and a TVDN a Torrent Video Distribution web link at the same time.
That gives me chills, Bluedrake adds.
There is no intent to break the law even though this solution provides the chance to avoid censorship.
The freedom of peer-to-peer will only be used for speech, not to invade copyright, insists Bluedrake.
All I want is a site where people can say what they want.
WebTorrent creator Feross Aboukhadijeh is quite excited with the development.
This is just one of the extremely creative uses for WebTorrent that Ive heard about.
Im continually amazed at what WebTorrent users are building with the open source torrent engine, Feross informs TF.
When a video site uses WebTorrent, visitors help to host the sites content.
The more people that use a WebTorrent-powered website, the faster and more resilient it becomes.
I think thats pretty cool.
Its something that traditional CDNs cannot offer.
The magic of WebTorrent is that people can use it however they like.
