The number of people mad I made this video is hilarious. Don't worry, if VRchat was gonna take down these worlds, this tiny video isn't gonna be the reason. There's a reason VRChat has to have the untrusted urls setting: to protect themselves from any issues from copyright holders. Your favorite worlds aren't going anywhere, even though they're technically illegal. Spoiler, you've been able to watch movies and shows illegally online forever. This is just a cool new way to do it.

[@thestonedzone284]

Well you see no matter what, if the feds wanna shut it down they will as soon as it becomes big enough or draws enough attention, has nothing to do with vr chat being liable or not. Itll get taken down because theyll demand it one way or another, probably "stop the pirating or shut vrchat down"...... And i say this because its happened without vr a ton.... Putlocker, pirate bay many times, napster, and so on. If you cant understand or comprehend why someone would be mad about this and not want attention brought to it, then idk what to say

[@VirtualPandaVR]

@@thestonedzone284 sure they can try to shut it down. But that's not as easy as it sounds. Even if they took down these two popular worlds, other worlds would pop up using different links, achieving the same goal. Maybe eventually VRChat will be forced to never allow "untrusted urls" but that's inevitable. It's not gonna happen tomorrow because of this video. Quit gatekeeping, it's gross

[@thestonedzone284]

@@VirtualPandaVR gatekeeping? Yes trying to make it to where more people can use this for longer is gatekeeping.

Why would it be illegal? KZbin and other streaming sites allow you to embed videos in other websites as part of their sharing functionality. If it's a subscription service, the sites may allow you to watch a show with guests over. It might be a problem if it's a commercial enterprise, like a bar that draws in customers with public TVs explicitly set up to watch in public. VRC is more like a hotel where you rent a room and can then watch whatever movies you want on their TV or projector as long as you bring them in yourself.

@@MrJagermeister PSVR2 is coming out first quarter 2023. Now as far as whether to get that or Quest... Personally I don't like any ecosystem stores. I own a Quest 2 but I have a computer and almost exclusively use Steam for my VR games because Steam games will work regardless of headset I buy. Ecosystem stores are beholden to their one ecosystem. That being said, Quest by far has the best ecosystem library so I definitely think it's the better buy if you have to go the PC-less route.
