###Company Profile

LBRY’s goal: Every film, song, book & game ever made – accessible anywhere.

LBRY uses blockchain technology to provide a new way for people to publish and share content with each other – with no corporate middleman. It is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, open-source, peer-to-peer information marketplace and discovery protocol. LBRY was incorporated in 2015 by Jeremy Kauffman, and the team has expanded steadily since then. An alpha client was released in late October 2015, and an invite-only beta client will be released imminently. LBRY is powered by its own cryptocoin, LBRY Credits (similar to Bitcoin), which began being mined on June 27th, 2016.
