Lol wtf how is this legal? I just typed in office space and it started playing

Homie, you are on a PIRACY community.

I think they were more concerned about how long it's going to stay up

It's in that weird gray area as it is playing from illegal sites it just removes the usual ads and stuff

[–] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Octopus1348@thelemmy.club 23 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the sites it’s pulling media from aren’t getting taken down, so I doubt it will be either.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And if it does no doubt another 10 websites will take its place.
