I can code and I have tons of movies, but I don't know how to host my website on the clearnet without getting taking down. I know they can take it down if they really want to. But there are pirate movie websites which operate for years. How do they do it? I don't want to make money from it. I just want to have a nice website with high resolution movies (good movies) which are free.
Can I host it from my home server or is this the dumbest question of all times?
Help me out. Love

I just know that selfhosting something illegal from your server is not a good option.

If you are not really going for commercial grade just a cool site for you and your friends, use Plex. It does an exceptional job with Movies out of the box and a decent job with TV shows if you format the folders and files correctly. You can host it on your NAS at home (plex comes with most) and give people outside of your house access.

You have multiple options to do that
1. Torrent
You can seed your movies and upload to torrent sites so others can download and watch them locally
2. Use 3rd party hosting for video hosting + include it as a IFrame on your website
This way you are not hosting the illegal content on your servers but instead fetching them from another server
Bunch of sites allow you to upload Ultra HD videos for free and support being in an IFrame
3. Use Freenet to host files from your device
This way is hard and slow but could work
If you have any questions, please PM dkota

If there is an open wifi somewhere near your home you can get the Alfa AGA-2424 grid antenna and leech the connection. Then yes, you could set up your own server and not worry about cease and desist letters. Upload speed would be terrible but you could provide movies to a few friends.
I would not trust a VPN to secure my connection for such a use case. Movie studios have good lawyers and you will pay for the rest of your life if they prove you distributed 1000 movies.
Honestly what you are trying to do is cute but not worth the hassle. Huge risk no reward. Provide a coding tutorial so people can get a job to pay for movies. Much better use of your time.
