    Too many of these exist already. For every one that gets taken down, 5 spring up.

    I use the pirate bay.

    You won't be able to get around licence/copyright stuff without paying, and paying through advertising usually isn't enough. Clever users will just adblock.

    Licence costs won't be your only problem as you'll have massive storage and bandwidth requirements. That's why successful operations like Netflix have to charge. 7 quid a month is nothing. I'd pay that if I watched enough old stuff. Heck, I'd pay 10 or more if it meant I got new TV shows within 24 hours of them being released in HD with super fast download times. (and I could actually download them instead of streaming)
