Is sharing prime videos on Discord allowed?

The distribution of copyrighted material without the permission of the right holder is generally illegal. Streaming a movie on any platform is an act of distribution. However, many countries have laws that allow you to make a private copy, for example, allowing you to watch a movie on your TV at home with your friends. You can’t show the movie or anything else publicly, but anything private is allowed. There is an argument to be made that showing a movie to your two friends on a locked channel is not showing it to the public, but to a private group in a private space. Therefore, it is perfectly legal to do so. Streaming a movie on a server is no different than having someone come to your home and watch it on your TV. You’re not likely to get in trouble for that.
