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

        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

          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.

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

          First time I see this, but feels like something I would hide behind VPN. Most people use VPN to hide their home IP from ISP or goverment. 5€ a month should be enough for decent VPN. Lot of people dont care at all and never have a problem. I was torrenting for many years with no vpn, only got vpn recently just because I feel better 😜
