Nitpick - I think if your DVD streaming service is free and single-person only, then you probably can - it would qualify under space or time shifting concepts. I don't think you have the right to monetize a DVD you purchase in general in the US, though.



Didn't work for that company that rented you an actual physical individual tv antenna which you accessed remotely.

With the monumentally idiotic Aereo[1] decision, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I imagine if it was like...

You vessenes have an account, you can buy DVDs that I store for you, and you can view these DVDs using my service.

Even then odds are I'd get sued for copyright infringement.
