Good point. I think the bigger downside is the speed -- most people's home internet upload speed is probably not fast enough (the average in the US is ~1.6mbps) to support you streaming your media from around the world and having someone at home use the internet simultaneously.
The use case that this would be useful for is if you don't want to worry about having a local media center at home and relying on your home internet connection to do the streaming (also Streem offers social integration, aggregated list of movies/TV shows to browse, etc.) :).
Yeah my connection is really good so that's not a problem for me (20 down, 4 up).
I think the aggregate location to find free content online is a great angle to pursue. Create a nice couch interface like YouTube Leanback and I think you're onto something.
