The media that matters most is yours
The most precious video in any Jewish home was never commercial: the wedding, the bar mitzvah, the zeide's recorded shiurim, the school production. Families own this media outright - and it usually lives scattered across old phones, aging drives, and formats one device failure from vanishing.
Customer-owned media is one of the licensed rail's recognized origins. Because the rights are yours by definition, this lane's delivery questions are about care and custody rather than permission.
Custody with a boundary
Family media deserves the same two things the rest of the catalog gets: safe keeping and a clean experience around it. Owned recordings live behind your account, playable in the same focused player, inside the same boundary - never mixed into anyone else's results, never visible beyond your own household.
As this lane expands, the same honesty rule applies as everywhere on this site: what is live is described as live, and what is still being rolled out is described exactly that way. The principle, though, is settled - your simchas belong in your protected space.
