Howdy!

So in this thread I will show a simple way to bypass any copyright claims, mainly in Europe.

Before starting I must say that I do not own any movie website or anything related to this, just dont have the skills to make a website like that and I have a lot more to worry about.
I just have a law degree and like to find gaps in the system, and I think I found one
(I have knowledge of this for 4 years and I know people who are using it without problems).
I wish i had the skills to make something like that but I do not, so better to put this information out for the public, this is one of those business secrets.

So imagine you have a Movie/Anime streaming website for example and you are afraid of copyright claims and being sued, but those kind of website are always good for ads revenue and you want to make some good money.

Well basically those kinds of website have the movies directly attached into the main site by a streaming plug or whatever people call that (the window where you watch the movie), and this is illegal.

However, you can do it legally if instead of having the movie direly attached, you have an option where you can click "watch movie" and it opens a different window located in another website aka embedding and this is legal, yes LEGAL.
How? Well there is a EU Ruling that says "embedding does not equal copyright infringement"(1- Source down below at the end), in that way a website that aggregates links its legal.

How law mainly works on EU:
1º - Constitution
2º - Primacy (EU Ruling)
3º - Special laws like gambling laws
4ª - Civil and penal laws
5º - Other laws.

So basicly in a democratic country this is how law works, so a country law can only go against and not use EU Ruling if their constitution prohibits what that ruling demands.
In this way, if a country constitution does not say something like "link aggregation constitute copyright infringement" (any constitution says), this is legal.

How to make money:
Instead of having the streaming plug directly on the website, have a "watch button", when you click it pops up a little window in the center of the screen with an 5 or 10 sec ad (your revenue) after the time unlocks the link (this link should open a different tab and be hosted in a different website, in way for you just to aggregate links).
You can put ads directly in the link to unlock, and on the website through panels.
Note: There is another ways but ads are the right way.

Any questions down below.

Alternatively you can host the files in a country that does not have copyright law, such as iran or does not really care like china/russia.

Yes, I mean the second website where the videos are hosted can be in one of those countries, what I say is for you to have control of both the aggregating links website and streaming website and have a legal ads revenue by following the logic in my thread.
 
The problem is you run the risk of a lawsuit with your method as you outlined there is a legal process - so it does not matter if you win or lose you will be bankrupt.

Your always best hosting everything in a non dmca compliant country rather than trying to manipulate the eu legal system, its a lot cheaper!

People can use that decision as jurisprudence, for equal cases that decision will prevail because it has emanated by the highest EU court.

Maybe, but that entails a court case and unless you are very wealthy as i said you will go bankrupt before you finish the trial.

YOUR WAY
Lawyer: here is a cease and desist letter, please remove copyrighted material from your site.
You with eu host: well i have this jurisprudence case.
Lawyer: great, see you in court.


MY WAY
Lawyer: here is a cease and desist letter, please remove copyrighted material from your site.
You with non dmca compliant host: fuck off!

Which way do you think is easier / cheaper?
 
You are not allowed to spread any copyrighted material to a mass of people though.

Your are not spreading the material, just a way to find it and that is allowed.
For example with torrent, if you seed a torrent you are spreading copyrighted material. But if you supply a link to the torrent thats not ilegal.

Well, put both together and we have a good argument/position.
As I said, I know people who use this and have no problems.
 
Op have you ever hired a lawyer?

If you have you would know any solution that requires one to win is the last solution you should consider!

The point about this thread is to demonstrate there is a legal way to monetize a streaming site.
A website that aggregates links is legal, period.
Is like in a football day when everyone is on facebook and wants to watch the game online and you have a link of other website streaming it.
You can monetize that because what you are monetizing is the information where people can found that and not if that streaming is legal or not.
You dont own the stream, you have nothing to do with that, but you can put the stream link in ad.fly and monetize it.
Same thing here.
