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 “video platform” 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> + +</div><!-- for id="content", starts in the include above --> +<!--#include virtual="/server/footer.html" --> +<div id="footer"> +<div class="unprintable"> + +<p>Please send general FSF & GNU inquiries to +<a href="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><gnu@gnu.org></a>. +There are also <a href="/contact/">other ways to contact</a> +the FSF.
