+<h2>Posting Videos</h2>
+
+<address class="byline">by Richard Stallman</address>
+<hr class="thin" />
+
+<p>You don't need a &ldquo;free software based streaming platform&rdquo;
+to post a video for streaming.</p>
+
+<p>Someone asked me where to upload a video recording on some &ldquo;free
+software based streaming platform.&rdquo; Here's how I responded.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+What software the <em>platform</em> is based on is not crucial,
+because that has no effect on the people who use that site.
+They don't run that software. What they do is talk with the site.</li>
+
+<li>
+The crucial question for the users' freedom is whether the site
+requires them, or leads them, to run any nonfree software,
+including nonfree JavaScript code.</li>
+
+<li>
+Any web site can host a file of video in such a way that any browser
+can view it without <em>any</em> JavaScript. Just put the file of
+video onto the site, and tell people its URL. Any modern graphical
+browser, when it encounters a file of video, will stream it.</li>
+
+<li>
+The only special thing about &ldquo;video platform&rdquo; sites is
+that they have other auxiliary facilities, such as making accounts,
+uploading videos, tracking users who watch them, and restricting those
+users. You don't need those things.</li>
+
+<li>
+To distribute the URL of the video and enable users to watch it,
+all you do need is a site that you can post the file on.
+It could be your own web site, either running on your own server or hosted
+elsewhere.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Depending on the rest of that site, it may have other flaws or moral
+problems, but it will at least avoid directly mistreating users who
+watch the video.</p>
