+Prototype of a decentralized video streaming platform using P2P (bittorrent) directly in the web browser with [WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent).

+
+## Demonstration
+
+Want to see in action?
+
+ * You can directly test in your browser with this [demo server](http://peertube.cpy.re). Don't forget to use the latest version of Firefox/Chromium/(Opera?) and check your firewall configuration (for WebRTC)
+ * You can find [a video](https://vimeo.com/164881662 "Yes Vimeo, please don't judge me") to see how the "decentralization feature" looks like
+
+## Why
+
+We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enought money to pay bandwith and video storage of its server.
+
+So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example).
+But it's not enought because one video could become famous and overload the server.
+It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
+Thanks to [WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus bittorrent) inside the web browser right now.
