    Maybe?

They list "Hollywood films" as one of the things one can post on the network. That might not be promotion, but it's at least not discouragement, which I'm sure will tickle some people on their privates.

Not necessarily, since they offer the ability to charge for it. Perhaps they're hoping to get legit content producers involved?

Ahh! That makes sense.

I wonder how it would perform, being mixed in with the rest of the content. Would it even affect how the audience interacts with the official digital versions of Hollywood films on there?

That's a fair question, and I think that may really hurt adoption if they can't figure it out. We've seen how big companies freak out when their ads are put with things they don't like (all the craziness on YouTube is a prime example). If LBRY is seen as some weird underground thing, it's not going to be movie studios that serve as the early adopters.
