The legal terms state "A User owning physical media must use VidAngel’s filtering service to permit the streaming of Filtered Video Content to the User’s device."

Section 5.2 at https://www.vidangel.com/legal/terms

This sure makes it sound like filtering is believed to be required to make the movie legal to stream.

I really struggle to believe VidAngel would build a feature to turn away customers because it is not their market focus. It just doesn't make sense as an engineering investment decision - it is easier and more profitable to allow any number of filters (with 0 being a valid number).
