### 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, content network 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 was released on July 4th, 2016.
|
||
LBRY is powered by its own cryptocurrency, LBRY Credits, or LBC (similar to Bitcoin), which began being mined on June 27th, 2016.
|
||
On July 29th, 2017 the Pop-up Open Beta Was Announced.
