Unsure if anyone can clarify. But my understanding that simply downloading a watching isn’t an issue.

Selling illegally copied content is what can cause real legal issues.

I’m uncertain of any cases of anyone getting in trouble for simply watching copied content.

Example… 1st user pirates movies or videos and uploads them to YouTube or any streaming company.

2nd User then streams or downloads them to watch them offline. I’ve yet to see the 2nd user in this scenario face legal consequences.

Vs

2nd User then streams or downloads content and makes money off it. Here I see the 2nd user have legal issues.

Again I’m just a regular guy going based on regular guy logic.

I work with a lot of retirees. Many daycare centers require full access and history to their retirees to know how much their making. Wether they gave 3k or 7k or monthly income they want it all.

No difference in what service is provided regardless of the pay to the institution either.

Unsure if regulation would help or hurt this industry but it may be necessary.
