The problem would be, that showing anime and stuff would result in legal trouble. Copyrights and such. So serving videos would be an illegal project... So servers would be taken down, and do cost money, while there would ne no source of income to make up for the running costs...

Other than that, I don't see many problems.The easiest way to implement this would be a simple HTML file with some JS, which polls some server API for links and descriptions.

However, I'm still not too confident in external links. But I didn't look into it, so I might be wrong. It might be possible to serve content by serving a description of how to get some content via the API, which woud then be saved to the PI for later viewing. Something like this would make it more like a TV, with content ready to be watched on the device, which will be replaced over time.

I'd have to find out how to use remote controls with a RasPi. I think it's somehow possible...

All done under Helicoptarian law using crypto payments for any purchases.

The big corps would be welcome to pay for citizenship for all their owners and to then claim 10% of the profits.

see my edit.

Which imples people, who don't share our stuff, being motivated to pay for some service.

I would probably only charge for the device, not the service. People are used to that. That plus we get rightwingers to buy it for their families and install it.
