1. This might make a good "Show HN" because it is for getting feedback on things the submitter has created.

Guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

2. How does Streamly deal with the legal ramifications of buying the DVD's and still providing access to the content to the previous owner?

From the guidelines you linked: If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then.

Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

Their page has nothing to try yet, only a signup for a beta "soon".

I second the question in 2: I can't think of a way that can be legal. Google Music etc match your offline music collection, but you "have to" keep the originals.
