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?

For instance, right now it is not against the law to watch a video on YouTube that somebody else uploaded.
If it turns out after the fact that somebody’s intellectual property rights were violated by the original video upload, you will not be punished for that, only the original uploader can be punished for the IP violation.

Yes but if you torrent a movie just for yourself to watch, you’re distributing it to hundreds of people, so it’s way worse
