Is it a crime to share my jellyfin library with only one friend of mine? (programming.dev)

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?

Having a “library” is already a crime in some countries so…

Discuss with a lawyer or local law enforcement. This is not a reliable place to ask if you are genuinely concerned about this

Don't discuss with local law enforcement wtf

Talk to the wrong one and you're getting your house raided.

In the US, it’s a violation of copyright. You could be sued, but wouldn’t likely be arrested.

I would say that the odds of being sued are minimal, close to nonexistent, if it is just a few close friends and family. Jellyfin uses password protection which helps, but you can improve your odds of staying off the media companies’ radar by keeping the server on a private VPN like Tailscale and remembering the rules of Fight Club.

I think you're talking about that public domain movie with a similar title.
