No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Is it illegal to stream or is it just illegal to upload files?
Also how does ownership transfer to the user and how are they streaming physical, DRM-protected media? I would think it was the distribution company who determines who gets licenses not a coop that just happens to own a copy of the movie.
I'm not sure I see the difference between this and you just giving your friends and family access to your Plex/Jellyfin server. It seems like the same thing but with more self-imposed hoops to jump through that don't really change the legality of anything, but IANAL.
The ownership transfer of the media is crucial. If I just give you access to my Plex, and you watch a movie that I own, that's theft. If you have your own Plex, and watch a movie that you own the physical media of, that's legal.
All I'm doing is hosting and storing the physical media you own and the digital copy of that. Only you can access it. Only you can stream it. It's still yours.
And when you want to watch something else, you trade that physical media for someone else's physical media. A one-for-one swap. Now you can stream the new physical media you own.
Interesting, so if I want to watch a movie that I don't own, I can trade an already owned movie with someone who has a movie that I'd like to watch? Then after using, the trade reverses?
Who holds the physical media? Is it held at one location, but only the ownership changes?
That reminds me of how gold is traded... it stays in the vault, but ownership is swapped.
Doesn't need to. You just trade what you currently have with the next guy for the next one.
Physical media would sit in central storage. Not physically moved. Yes, exactly like your gold example.
