Hi All,
sorry, do you think anything i need to take notes / concerns if i plan to put some media server instance in vps Linode & if my plan this through for p2p legal media ? (eg using peertube)
Does in linode policy are there any terms regarding handling p2p traffic ?
Many thanks & appreciate any thoughts.

I would be sure to review our Terms of Service to ensure that all of your activity is above-board, but P2P media sharing isn't inherently illegal or against the rules on its own. As long as you are not distributing copyrighted material in a way that breaks the law, self-hosted media serving should be totally fine.
If your activity is flagged as somehow breaking copyright law, we will open a ticket on your account asking you to stop the activity and confirm that the copyrighted material is no longer present. You are afforded a few days to respond to these tickets before any network restrictions are required, so please be sure to reply accordingly.
