Problem isn't the hosting, it's the content licensing. It's difficult to get a legal copy of the content that you can actually possess. Without that, doesn't matter if you are streaming the content through self-hosted servers or playing it locally. It's the content itself that is the real issue. It's often just not "sold" only "licensed" or "rented".
