Problem with that is, what happens when Stremio gets shut down like every other illegal streaming platform to date? What happens when they no longer want to host the stuff I like?

I like having the files locally, so that when streaming platforms die, og just decide not to waste server space on the stuff I like, I can still watch the shows and movies that are no longer avaliable anywhere.

    I won't really fight anyone suggesting "Yarr-harr" approaches, but if you're just looking for something to watch and legality becomes a hurdle as you describe: Libraries offer a huge backlog of stuff (watched some old Disney stuff I'd targeted, without sending the mouse money) as well as some digital services. It should be pretty easy to rip the DVDs they have on offer too.

    Stremio isn't going away, just like Qbittorrent isn't going away.

    It doesn't actually host any illegal content. Stremio alone is nothing more than a film and TV database. It's not illegal to make a database.
