Yes! I’m glad you mentioned the crime! If you own a DVD and rip it - that itself is a grey area that is mostly acceptable now. However, sharing it digitally is another grey area that providers have been skimming under the radar, but by requiring a subscription that is 100% illegal. You cannot pay for shared content. I think they’re trying to get around it but personally, I just want to avoid the whole thing. Jellyfin was a no brainer from that aspect.

In some countries. In others it is legally protected.
