You include usenet in your example of possible video sources; it is my understanding that cloud providers will ban your account if they get DMCA requests. I am not certain how much S3 providers monitor storage for this type of thing, but I would guess they do up to a point. Do you think this could be a problem?

Yeah, after a few DMCA requests they will ban your account. Usenet is supported and torrents, but that is not intended to be used for copyrighted material. AFAIK s3 doesn't do any scanning, nor would they care, since DMCA safe harbor protects them until they get a notice. There are plenty of options if you do decide to be a pirate to stay safe, but again, I do not encourage or think it's a good idea.
