Hey guys, glad I noticed your straight forward project, felt in love with it instantly.
Question: what are the benefits compared to projects where files are stored as hashes in IPFS?
As I get this, allion can get cracked down by authorities very easily. Is this to be changed?
The only direct linked files on allion are public domain movies (movies that are stored on allion). All other movies are available either from legitimate sources on youtube or via ipfs. We store NO movies besides public domain (these are the initial movies you find on most sites. like night of the living dead. Refer madness etc.).
The truth is that if we are to continue to stream movies & media we will have to go to limited licensing and be legitimate. This of course would eliminate any NEW movies but would in turn give us a legal right to charge for media & requested media streams. You can look at other media providers like popcornflix and mastersofhorror etc. These companies purchase limited licensing and legally can stream and receive AD revenue from there content.
Does everyone want me to put images all together and then start a voting on it?
For those that are still waiting for questions and comments to be answered I promise to get to them. And Apologize for my lack of responding for the last 2 days.
Part of the framework for the music section is being re-written at the moment. The fail on the music.allion.tv launch was bad but in the end it was a good thing. Both music & movies used part of the same code that was a complete failure so this will not be an issue with movies launch.
