  Like Netflix before streaming, but with streaming.

  So you want to watch The Matrix. We have one. You now own that physical DVD, because you asked for it. Because you own that DVD, you also own the digital copy that I made from that DVD. It sits on my server, but that’s no different than you saving files to any cloud provider. Now you choose to stream that digital file to your house.

    You’ll get sued immediately. End of story.
