If you want your server to stay secure, then that is not really an option. Copyright is not the thing that is stopping your suggestion from happening.

Just have an oauth flow to grant permission to the store to upload movies. It would absolutely be possible to implement securely.

Implementation details. At checkout put in a public key or something similar, at the receiving end accept a dialog to accept film <x> from <y> movie buying site.

Signed URLs are a thing.

Copyright itself isn't what's stopping that, but the legal apparatuses and laws surrounding the distribution of digital copyrighted information and the industry protectionism that spawned said laws and legal apparatuses is what's stopping it.
