PeerTube can handle everything but 6 (chat), and if you use your own instance no one can do a DMCA takedown. Peer to peer streaming will keep it fast for everyone.

Edit: since there's some interest in PeerTube as a solution, I'll add that running your own PeerTube instance will set you back $5/mo. for up to 25gb of videos.

A free but DMCA susceptible solution is to just upload the video to BitChute or PeerTube (someone else's instance) or another platform and assume that they won't take it down for 24h at which time movie night will already be over. But you know what they say- if it is to be, then it's up to me.

Why does running PeerTube set you back anything?

Although, for what it's worth, I think Saidit should look into a public performance license, and only allow Saidit users to access the stream. Then (IANAL, but I think) it'll be perfectly legal to host the movie nights, since it's effectively a (decentralised, in the case of PeerTube) closed-circuit distribution platform.

Why does running PeerTube set you back anything?

Yes SaidIt could technically host a PeerTube instance but CPU for transcoding and storage space are not trivial and this isn't our core mission or even on our roadmap. If we openly ran this stream it seems a bit risky.

Why does it cost someone something? Because PeerTube is federated and doesn't rely on some pie in the sky ICO that will be deader than shit in 12 months. People actually own and control their instances and data.

Yeah; isn't PeerTube awesome?
