Not thinking about upload to make it available, just as a cheaper way of backup and access to what you already own.

- not_your_vase 2y agoAs a private person, you can totally do that in many places (but not everywhere, of course). Building a business around it sounds sketchy - even a non-profit. In the moment any money is exchanged, no lawyer will be happy to take the case. But as long as you do it as a private person for your own private use, you can get away with it at many places. (Maybe you noticed that these news about "billy torrented a spongebob episode, and has to pay now a quadrillion moneyz" always come from the same country. In Europe the distribution chain is being chased - torrent site admins, cinema-camera teams, content hosts... but usually not the end-users.) Of course IANAL. Do your research too - especially because this is really dependent on the country where you are.
