I would love to know the legal implications of running a service where people are able to stream copyrighted content to others, or to share subscription services like Netflix in violation of its TOS.

This is like every other service that supports screen sharing, is it not?

  Except that this service explicitly says it's for "watching movies or TV shows on Netflix together online."

    justin.tv almost exclusively was for chatting/watching copyrighted videos/tv shows together online (later rebranded and sold for ~$1B as twitch.tv)

I thought services like this ran in a legal limbo because the end user can't select the content, much like radio.

  Or like sitting at your friend's house while they pick some entertainment?

You mean just like email or web hosting? I can easily send you a "robbed" book in PDF format by mail. Is my MUA/MTA legally implied?
