Show HN: Share Streaming Services With Friends(Even if they don’t own accounts)
- GPUboy 6y agoAvailable as a firefox addon or chrome extension. Share your netflix/hbogo/youtube with up to 5 friends even if they don't own an account. The host requires a fairly good graphics card to stream the screen, netflix, and videorooms. Viewers can run on simple laptops without owning the streaming service. If you own a streaming service and would like us to add support, it can work like a viral marketing strategy, since your customers would share and sell your service for you. If they want the full experience or to become hosts themselves, they can purchase it. I appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or requests to support streaming services.
- notadog 6y agoThe legality of this seems suspect. Additionally, there is no terms of service or privacy policy to be found on the website.
- GPUboy 6y agoThanks! The signup page has been updated to include Eula and Privacy Policies. We believe since we limit it to a handful of friends, and netflix doesn't prosecute users who share with friends, this flies under fair use. If we let people broadcast freely to millions, I could see how it would cut into revenues. Currently, vidshared streaming would be lower bandwidth than the high res netflix streams, so I believe this can work like a viral marketing strategy for them: their customers can share and sell it to their friends actively now. I could be wrong though :) If any streaming service wants us to remove support, let us know!
