LBRY is the latest of a series of crypto-apps released over the past year that utilize the blockchain to provide maximum decentralization of services, and certainly the first designed for users outside the tech community. When it goes to full release in Q4:15, LBRY’s founders expect it to immediately improve the lives of any user who produces or consumes content. It may be the vehicle that takes blockchain tech to the masses.

LBRY is the first truly free and censorship-resistant way to exchange content. The LBRY protocol provides a completely decentralized network for discovering, distributing, and publishing all types of content and information, from books to movies.
|
||||
|
||||
When publishing the lectures to LBRY, the content metadata is written to a public blockchain, making it permanently public and robust to interference. Then, the content data itself is hosted via a peer-to-peer data network that offers economic incentives to ensure the data remains viable. This is superior to centralized or manual hosting, which is vulnerable to technical failure or other forms of attrition.

Mainstream news can be agonizingly dry at best and dishonest at worst.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But when your life doesn’t depend on ratings and ad dollars, all of a sudden, news gets real again. So real that you can rap it. Or at least this is how I’ve been informed they watch news Down Under.

||||

||||

Corporate welfare, crony oil, coral reef decay, and other C-words like Corrupt Politicians and Corrupter McCorruptisons, no sin goes unscathed in the realest news satire on the web. The Juice Media, while covering plenty of news for local Aussies, has probably nailed a world leader in your area with a bad Yelp review at least once.

It’s 2018 - over 40 years ago, cable TV was introduced as the ad-free, subscriber-supporter alternative to broadcast TV, and almost immediately succumbed to the siren song of that sweet corporate ad revenue. Hollywood crumbled under the pressure as well, and movies have become product placement bonanzas.

At first, the internet was a ray of light on the dark horizon, providing creators with the ability to connect directly with fans anywhere in the world. And on top of that, the start-up cost to create a website was low enough that almost anyone could afford it.
|

|

But like cable TV, the ad-free paradise of the internet was quickly choked with advertising. When advertisers purchase people’s time and attention on the internet, they’re able to really dig into the details of people’s lives for demographic information and personal details to better target their ads. If TV, radio, and print advertising are a shotgun blast, internet advertising is a hit from a highly trained sniper.

|
|||
|
||||
**Be intentional about the media you consume.** It’s pretty simple. No more channel surfing or endlessly watching YouTube’s auto-suggested videos. Stop on one you like and check out the rest from that creator. Turn the radio off, plug into the [Spotify Artist Explorer](https://artistexplorer.spotify.com/), [Music Suggestions Ninja](https://www.musicsuggestions.ninja/), or [Liveplasma](http://liveplasma.com/), and find something great instead of something ok. Decide that from now on, you’re blazing your own path - if it intersects with something that happens to be popular, ad-supported media, that’s totally fine. Just keep the next step in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
**Find ways to directly support the creators you like**. It isn’t nearly as difficult as it was even five years ago, but most options have some drawbacks. Platforms like [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/) and [Bandcamp](https://bandcamp.com/) let fans contribute directly to artists, but they take a cut of the proceeds. Streaming services like [Spotify](https://www.spotify.com/) offer a fantastic catalogue of artists and albums, but artists receive very little for each play of their song.

The arts have always been a difficult business. In the 1600s, the arts were so competitive that poets and producers hired professional applauders called [claques](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claque). Shakespeare’s plays have literally [caused riots](https://culturacolectiva.com/books/history-of-riot-at-the-astor-place-shakespeare/).

LBRY is not an ad-driven media service. In fact, it’s not a traditional media service at all. LBRY is an open protocol that allows you to publish your videos to the network at no cost to you and set a price per stream or download. Because LBRY is a protocol and not a corporate store, there is no approval process for content to be listed and no authority that can “de-monetize” your videos. That’s between you and your fans.

LBRY is many components working together. For most users, it will just be a place where they can find great videos, music, ebooks, and more. A vast digital library available on all of your devices.
|

|

But behind that experience is an ecosystem that can be hard to understand at first – especially because we tend to refer to all the pieces and the system-as-a-whole as “LBRY”. (We’re working on clearing that up.)

|

|
||||
It might be easier to start with what LBRY is not: it is not just another corporate media service like YouTube or iTunes or Spotify. It is first and foremost a new *protocol* that allows artists to upload their content to a network of hosts (like BitTorrent) and set a price per stream or download (like iTunes) or give it away for free (like YouTube without ads). What makes this all possible is the blockchain technology developed by the founder of Bitcoin. Do you have to understand any of this to use and enjoy LBRY? No. Does it still matter to users? Yes!
|
||||
|

Gmail has built an extremely popular email service on top of the near-universal *SMTP protocol* that everyone uses to exchange emails. Anyone sending email with SMTP can communicate with Gmail addresses, no matter what email platform they use (Yahoo!, AOL, iCloud, etc.). Google can’t interfere with someone emailing from an @yahoo.com address to an @aol.com address – and users are free to switch between services at any time, taking their emails with them. Users have a lot of power in open protocols that is often taken for granted.
|
||||
|
||||
Compare this to a proprietary, centrally controlled service like Facebook Messenger. If you conduct all of your social communications via Messenger, you’re stuck in that environment – you cannot move your messages or contacts over to Google Chat or Skype. And if Facebook changes the way Messenger functions by censoring conversations or sharing your information with advertisers or governments, tough luck.

Even platforms that are ostensibly designed with the user’s control and privacy in mind are susceptible to corruption if they are centrally controlled. WhatsApp comes to mind. WhatsApp built a huge global user base claiming to put users above advertisers. Then Facebook bought it. Now users may well have their personal phone numbers and metadata mined for Facebook’s advertising algorithms.

There is no such risk of top-down corruption with the LBRY protocol. Content uploaded to the decentralized LBRY network remains publicly accessible so long as the community finds it valuable and continues to host it.

|

|

Now, the LBRY project is more than just a revolutionary new protocol. It is also a company, *LBRY Inc.*, which is developing a *LBRY app* to allow users to easily interact with the protocol. So it’s as if Google had developed the email protocol, released it to the world for free, and then built Gmail to help people make use of it. Not only is our app completely open-source, but others are welcome to create competing apps that also use the LBRY protocol. For a content creator, your uploaded content will be available to all of these apps at the same time.

First, it’s important to know that assigning names in a decentralized system is one of the hardest problems in computer science. Just because we’re all accustomed to certain solutions doesn’t mean they aren’t seriously flawed.

||||

Let’s look at the internet’s standard domain name system (DNS). DNS is a centralized service run by an organization called ICANN. [There’s actually a bit of controversy going on right now about who should control ICANN](http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21707538-internet-not-american-whatever-ted-cruz-thinks-road-surfdom), which until now has been under the supervision of the US Department of Commerce. ICANN grants registrars the ability to lease domain names for 1-year terms. Registrars pay enormous fees to participate in this system, and individuals/companies can end up paying substantial fees to maintain a particular domain. That is to say, ICANN is a pretty lucrative racket for those involved.

And the results aren’t even that good! Not only are domain names still very awkward (http://www.THENAMEIWANT.somethingelse), but they are highly vulnerable to squatters. Domain name squatting has become an industry unto itself, with speculators viewing it like owning real estate. Unfortunately, as with real estate, the market is opaque and transaction costs are high. Unlike real estate, the scarcity of ICANN domains is basically artificial, depending on a committee to approve new top-level domains (TLDs) at their whim.

Our Reddit AMA made clear that this system makes people uncomfortable. No doubt it is unlike anything we've seen before on the net. For creators, it's a tradeoff. You might lose a valuable name, but you also don't have to worry about people squatting on the best names. Squatting has plagued projects like Namecoin and is only (poorly) resolved by ICANN at the cost of much expense and centralization.
