1. This might make a good "Show HN" because it is for getting feedback on things the submitter has created.

2. How does Streamly deal with the legal ramifications of buying the DVD's and still providing access to the content to the previous owner?

From the guidelines you linked: If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then.

Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

Their page has nothing to try yet, only a signup for a beta "soon".

I second the question in 2: I can't think of a way that can be legal. Google Music etc match your offline music collection, but you "have to" keep the originals.
