*Updated on 12/27/2017 with the latest access instructions.*
Today, the University of California at Berkeley has deleted 20,000 college lectures from its YouTube channel. Berkeley removed the videos because of a lawsuit brought by two students from another university under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
We copied all 20,000 and are making them permanently available for free via LBRY.

### How to Access
Until LBRY launches to the public in the near future, the videos are only accessible to technical users via the command line.
1. Download and install the LBRY app from [here](https://lbry.io/get?auto=1).
2. Start the LBRY app and wait for the app to finish loading.
3. Click [lbry://@UCBerkeley](https://open.lbry.io/%40UCBerkeley) to access the UCBerkeley channel, or simply type `@UCBerkeley` into the search bar on top and hit enter.
If you already have access to LBRY, go to [lbry://ucberkeley](lbry://ucberkeley) to see the full catalog.
Each entry on @UCBerkeley channel is the course video/audio claim page where the content can be streamed (and downloaded locally).
If you want to be notified as soon as the videos are made public to everyone, [sign up here](https://lbry.io/get).
If you're command-line-capable but new to LBRY, [follow this guide](https://lbry.io/quickstart), then access [lbry://ucberkeley](lbry://ucberkeley).
