FYI, I got my ass in a sling for illegally downloading first-run stuff before, so I’d prefer not to get another knock at my door. Makes the neighbors talk. I’m talking about possibly streaming it online. Someone posted a link ages ago where you could do that, but the site may have been taken down by now.

Yeah right,"knock on your door". Was that the guys in black helicopters? I used to get snarky letters from my ISP but a VPN put a stop to that. Now,I would not consider getting on the internet anywhere without NordVPN.

Years ago they tried to crack down on people or sites like Napster, which was mentioned earlier, but they were just overwhelmed. They've given up trying to stop it. You have a better chance of winning the Megabucks than you have of getting hassled for downloading content. Local Internet providers, OTOH, can throttle your download speed or even cut you off if you hog too much bandwidth. Even that is pretty rare nowadays. The most you will see is that they will charge you more money if you go over a certain amount of bandwidth per month.

I sent you a pm with a suggestion on how you could stream online.
