In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate.

    Sounds like a torrent

    Because it is torrenting. I clicked on the “More information” link in the popup and:

    PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server. The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance’s BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.

    No idea about copyright though, but I also don’t quite understand the issue there that doesn’t apply to ActivityPub itself too.
