    No but the fact that software is reasonable to charge for does.

      Don’t you understand it’s a feature that doesn’t require any of there servers. It uses your internet. They could charge for other things but this one, no.

        But they develop the software and need to fund that regardless of technical reasons.

        Doesn’t it use their servers to set up the connection between the client and the host? And I seem to recall that if you have a double NAT situation (or something like that) then it will actually stream the content over their servers as well.

        But the remote streaming uses their servers. If you wanted to direct stream without involving your servers you already needed a vpn

    I never stated if it does or does not. But seems like a lot of people are surprised about this news.
