    is this legal

    is this legal

    Did that stop NeoToonami before Toonami came back on for real?
  • NeoToonami was a comparatively huge operation, tho.

    That bears only upon feasability, not legality.

    Point being, I'm looking for a streaming service that can handle this kinda load (also, a computer which can handle this load would be important, but minor setbacks)
  • honestly I have no idea

    Justin.tv before it was shut down

    If you can get your hands on an API to handle streamed video input, you could probably just use that+a server and send info to it from, like, OBS (Open Broadcasting Service). Two nodes, but I'm also not a networking guy.

    Also, I wish you the best. On the internet, copyright infringement is more rigorously enforced than action taken to ruin people's lives.
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    Toonami Aftermath is still around.

    You should go ask them how they pull it off.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Running a pirate station is a pretty intensive operation. You would probably need collaborators, people to handle things like programming (the non-computer-y kind) and site maintenance. That, and it would behove you to be broadcasting things that generally cannot be found elsewhere—unlicensed foreign shows, out-of-circulation material, et cetera.

    But really, this is just toeing the line of our legality rules. Keep that in mind.

    ...we have legality rules?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    ^the princess is not above the law.
  • kill living beings
    vanilla TOS says use has to be in line with "all applicable laws and regulations" but i think just talking about committing crimes is legal
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    I thought we don't have to follow Vanilla TOS since we're on our own server.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Uh, yeah, we do. Not super strict ones—I am pretty sure nobody cares if I download out-of-print Hafler Trio albums or help my friends make weed tinctures in my spare time, and I think I can say that openly—but this is entering a bigger grey area wherein plausible deniability becomes an issue.

    Mostly this policy is, I think, meant to encompass actual crimes rather than silly stuff like this, but I want to avoid anyone here getting implicated in some bullshit and having this as "evidence."
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    If anything, we're under Linode's TOS, which is pretty liberal (I doubt they'd get on us for discussing piracy; hosting bootlegs, that'd be different). That said, it's never a good idea to incriminate yourself.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I was talking to Centie, by the way. Missed Klino and Section's posts. What Lee said is more concise and ultimately more useful here, but my concern remains.

    Although I will freely admit that having a mini TV station would be really cool.

    Fair enough on all counts
