Not a single video file is hosted on DTube.video. Everything is on IPFS. I am no lawyer, but I don't think much can happen to me. DTube is only code.
If I'm wrong and end up in jail, at least I will have a bunch of free time :D

hahaha! that's true. Thanks for creating such a great platform @heimindanger ... ps, is your name what I think it is ?? lolz
It may not be that simple, the pirate bay hosted no movies either and I'm sure we all know what happened there. If the vast majority of content is original I would hope that will cover you, especially if you make no money from the dodgy content.
This is actually a very interesting situation. It's not inconceivable that this could create liability for Steemit Inc.
When people post copyrighted material on YouTube, YouTube is not held accountable because the content gets removed at the request of the Copyright holder. However, on the blockchain, is that even possible? Once uploaded isn't it always there?
There is definitely a question to be answered regarding who is liable for copyright violations on steemit...
I love DTUBE! Bravo ... I really believe in IPFS/IPLD applications however I have difficulties to use my local ipfs node with DTUBE, as I have to run it on different ports it would be wonderful to have some setting / cookies to register the ipfs api and gateway link such that all non port:8080 and port:5001 users can enjoy a smooth dtub and seeds videos too from their ipfs repository.
This is very interesting situation. We already can see the platform being used to host newest GoT episode : https://dtube.video/v/curator/pk1nx0e3 and being rewarded handsomely for it. This will surely attract more of the same kind of behavior.
Piraters getting paid for sharing content and people not having to worry about viruses? This is a win win -situation for both parties.
Definitely new legal territory, but the laws are bent to the will of the powerful - those with lots of money ... even if courts side with you initially, legislation will come about to force the courts to do what 'they' want. I hope you build an app with full functionality and get it out asap ... then take down the website - I don't want to see a brilliant guy like you dropped into a hole like they did (and are doing) with so many others. PLEASE, consult a few lawyers asap.
why is it that the videos I post on dtube wont play?
I hope they let you code more platforms for us Steemers if you happen to go that route ;) And you can never be sure, law can be complicated, specially if you're taking money away from the big boys.
But, in the end, this is we who decide who we give the money to. :)
Am I being detained officer?!
Steemit accounts can be created anonymously so that's one hurdle that can be easily avoided. It's a bit of an hassle to get funds to it without them being trackable to you easily though. Maybe through shapeshift?
Dude!! We'll come free you no problem!
