Legal Overview
The legality of NetMirror exists in a gray area that depends on several factors: your country's copyright laws, how you use the app, and what content you access.
NetMirror aggregates content from various online sources and presents it through a unified interface. The app itself doesn't host any content — it acts as a gateway to content available elsewhere on the internet.
How NetMirror Works
Understanding the technical side helps clarify the legal picture:
- NetMirror indexes content from various streaming servers
- It doesn't store or host any video files on its own servers
- Content is streamed directly from third-party sources
- The app provides a search and navigation layer
Copyright Considerations
Most content available through NetMirror is copyrighted. Streaming copyrighted content without authorization from the copyright holder may be considered copyright infringement in many jurisdictions.
