I would like to share my jellyfin movies and tv shows with my friend. I was thinking about allowing only his IP address to connect to my jellyfin server.

Is it a crime? Can I be arrested for this? I do not plan on running a mega operation for hundreds of people.

Is that ok to do?

If this is a crime then this world is fucked up.

Of course it's a crime (or at the very least illegal, but a civil matter), you're distributing pirated media.

Are you going to get caught? No.

Not distributing. The person never possessed it. They looked at something on your server.

That's like charging me for smelling the steak they're cooking on the grill next door.

Streaming to someone is distributing
