Letter from Nightshift Does the NightShift solution break copyright laws? Any cached files are stored in the their original format and protected by Netflix DRM; it does not tamper with Netflix DRM in any way NightShift does not enable or make it easier for an end user to watch content from a different region. Netflix makes content available based on IP address and NightShift follows that. Users cannot consume any of the content on NightShift without a valid and active Netflix subscription, internet connection (to login into Netflix and start the movie) and a supported Netflix player. When consuming content from NightShift, the end user is still streaming video from their Netflix player like always. NightShift simply provides a local cache that it is streamed from. Does the NightShift solution violate any Netflix terms of service? The terms of service state that: "You agree not to archive, download (other than through caching necessary for personal use), reproduce, distribute, modify, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works from, offer for sale, or use (except as explicitly authorized in these Terms of Use) content and information contained on or obtained from or through the Netflix service." NightShift simply caches the content for personal use within the home.; this does not violate the terms of service. How does NightShift help Hughesnet customers? NightShift allows Hughesnet customers to use their night-time bonus bytes to pre-load Netflix content onto a home router for personal viewing buffer-free the next day.
