I discovered that a lot of pirate stream sites are already doing something similar (but not exact) to this.

They store fragments of movies (rather than the full videos) in Google Drive files and then combine them together during playback. Each fragment could then be copied and mirrored across different accounts, so if any are taken down they can just switch to another copy. Pretty clever (albeit abusive) solution for free bandwidth.
