I feel most peertube users would not care. But is it legal, or a chance that some one might sue?
edit: added claritiy to the question title and post body.
Peertube is an open source platform where I feel most users are posting there just to have fun and as a hobby for no or little profit. While Youtube is ad supported and creators on there now days want to use it to make profit.
On Peertube should it be legally acceptable to download uploaded videos for free for offline use? Is it legally acceptable?
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.
i think its inevitable. why fight it.
google cant stop people… peertube is going to try?
That is a question whose answer will be different for each person answering. Because it is a value judgement and people have different values.
Even “Is it legal?” Depends on where the person is answering and what laws apply to them.
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.
You could download a video to watch later when you won’t have access to an Internet connection for whatever reason
