Apparently not. From the article:
In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos -- for audio, text, stills, code, everything.
Bittorrent with streaming interface actually works pretty well.
Edit: Re Dat, this is interesting, and promising: https://blog.datproject.org/2017/12/10/dont-ship/
This is also interesting, cool demo of streaming video browser to browser:
So what I should have said was that it's OK in a VM that reaches the Internet through a nested VPN chain, or whatever, so your ISP-assigned IP address isn't trivially discoverable.

Both censorship resistance and decentralised options. Content can't be deleted because it exists on a blockchain and it's fast.
And DLive is just a blank page for me. In Firefox, with WebRTC and a bunch of other stuff blocked.
I simply don't understand how this isn't ordering the impossible.
* size requirements apply. Also, if you publish on your very own website that point becomes moot, too.
But classical music, sad to say, largely is a niche pursuit. Niche content can always find a home somewhere and users will seek it out.
And I haven't followed the news closely, but if the EU is indeed going to mandate Content-ID style systems, theoretically these niche sites that don't have one will be under some level of legal and regulatory exposure? Not quite sure how any of that would work in practice.
If you're saying everyone should make their own AllOfBach... the website clearly has taken tons of development effort, its first iteration was unusably difficult to navigate, it's still not great at accessibility, and if I wanted a portable version of their recordings I have even fewer options than I would with YouTube.
I'm glad AllOfBach exists but there's a reason people want to stick to the music services they are already familiar with.
I'm not going to search for it elsewhere because it's not a core interest of mine.
Devoted fans will find content anywhere, but casual viewers will just look in the default spot.
Youtube is an everything-pool. It has garbage, it has wonderful. Generalizing about a site that large is foolish.
