Lol idk how removing ads and just rehosting the video is a gray area but whatever works for me... I figured when I first clicked on it, it was like a watch party kind of thing. Like I post a video file then whoever I want can watch it with me... Not just pulling video files from other sites lol. Still, seems cool and is super slick

They do not rehost. It's still coming directly from the illegaé sites.

Newpipe is in that gray area too and they're still going strong despite the best legal efforts from youtube.

You're not kidding. I doubt this is going to stay up.

Errrmmm....dude! everything is ilegal if you stop seeding 😜 I mean, its piracy channel, get vpn and enjoy the ride

Do I need a VPN for this? Or can I just play my damn movie without being worried?

[–] rambos@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

First time I see this, but feels like something I would hide behind VPN. Most people use VPN to hide their home IP from ISP or goverment. 5€ a month should be enough for decent VPN. Lot of people dont care at all and never have a problem. I was torrenting for many years with no vpn, only got vpn recently just because I feel better 😜

Thank you. I'm asking because I don't want to get into any legal trouble, even though I don't see why I would. I'm only streaming it through a public site, not downloading any movies. I just don't want to deal with shit.
