suggestion for increasing content

[Rik44444]

hi all,
big fan of Peertube, thank you all for creating this !
i have a suggestion for increasing the content of Peertube (thus attracting more users): have you considered copying the most viewed Creative Commons videos on Youtube? here they are:
https://www.youtube.com/results?filters=video&lclk=video&search_query=a%7Cb%7Cc%7Cd%7Ce%7Cf%7Cg%7Ch%7Ci%7Cj%7Ck%7Cl%7Cm%7Cn%7Co%7Cp%7Cq%7Cr%7Cs%7Ct%7Cu%7Cv%7Cw%7Cx%7Cy%7Cz%7C1%7C1%7C2%7C3%7C4%7C5%7C6%7C7%7C8%7C9%7C0&search_sort=video_view_count&sp=CAMSBBABMAE%253D

There is an instance for this: https://vidcommons.org

(certificate seems to be expired, i already told the admin)

I had no idea there are that many CC videos!
We definitely need them all on the PeerTube network! 😃

Hi,

Yes it would be very interesting. But we just develop the software (with some demo instances with not enough storage). You could ask some instance admins/non profit/host providers instead :)

Browsing the search results, there does seem to be a lot of copyrighted material (music videos, television show fragments) labeled as Creative Commons incorrectly. If Framasoft (or any other non-profit) would host mirrors of these videos themselves, that'd open them up to rightful DMCA claims.

This is a good strategy in principle, but it'd have to be a manual-checked list. Having some mechanism to manually verify or blocklist during the syncing phase could aid in this.
