I love the idea. I have a ton of questions. How would you prevent someone from sharing explicit, harmful or illegal content? Or is this an “anything goes” sort of platform? Is there chat functionality with room participants?

Also I wonder if a similar sort of platform exists for Live events/Sports? Sort of like watching a live sporting event (NBA, champions league) with friends in a chat room?

There is nothing preventing bad content atm, and I may look into this, but with it being largely client side (peer to peer) I have a feeling that will be tricky and obviously anyone knowing what they are doing could get around the safeguards.

There is no chat functionality but yea that is very high on my list of todos.

Not sure, I have never come across anything like that but I feel like its something people would like, especially considering most people have been locked in doors more often than usual lately.

is this uses torrents, does that mean there's a possibility i might get a notice for uploading illegal content if i watch like a marvel movie i uploaded with just a couple of my friends?

Quite unlikely, as it actually uses WebTorrent. WebTorrent runs over WebRTC, which means it's significantly harder for your ISP to detect it as a torrent.

[anxiostial]

its pretty unlikely since these aren't public torrents, but either way please don't do that.

And would it be ok if I had bought the DVD?
