Comment on Is a video streaming co-op a useful idea?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 11 hours agoMight want to fire up one of those DVDs and read the FBI warning at the beginning. No matter how many DVDs you own, it doesn’t give you license to distribute it.

But you can sell it, yes? And you can give it away for free or trade. And that person can create a digital copy and put it on a server.
So is it illegal to stream from someone else’s server?

I do not know the legal specifics, but I will warn you not to trust in “Common Sense Law”.
Which is my own term defined as: Knowing a little bit about the law (If I own a DVD, I’m legally allowed to watch it) and filling in ALL the other details with assumptions based on your own limited understanding of the laws.
