Really? Old shows that those people have already seen. It seems silly for a service like Peacock to be bragging " The Office Now Streaming" or even Friends. More can be said, but I'll say 'nough said.Ĭlick to expand.Because it seems the only way for them to create real value of the service, not just old show and episodes archived for viewing. But that is a legal battle the streamers and vMPVD's NEVER want to have to defend in Court: it is too great of a risk. After that, follows Fair Use once it enters the home of the paying (of if free content, non-paying) consumer. The content LEGALLY enters our home just like all the other content we consume, and with the SCOTUS decision on Areo, SCOTUS made clear that the issue was NOT Fair Use for the consumer, but was that the Provider/Service (Areo, or in this case Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, et al.) needs to have legally obtained rights for the content before sending it to the consumer. However, we are likely to never see the TOS from streaming and vMVPD's regarding agreement to NOT make local recordings of content ("Archive" is the term used) streamed into the privacy of our home because if it ever were challenged, it just may be struck down by the Courts. If we would be allowed by the streaming service or vMVPD's to locally record the content onto our local drives at our own cost with the same restrictions (Fair Use, Personal, Private) in place for local-at home DVR's, that would be quite an enhancement for me. OTOH, I have suffered the pain of waiting even just a few MONTHS to watch something-when I would have the TIME-with Netflix and Amzon (Amazon moved some content over to its IMDB service that has non-skipable COMMERCIALS) only to find it had been removed due to rights expiration, and NO OTHER streaming service had the content.
