This is maybe a little paranoid but... i have a jellyfin server that i let some family members use. one of them intends to use an app for apple tv, which i think is swiftfin or something like that. i am a bit skeptical about smart-TVs and the data they phone home with, so i was wondering if there is any chance that i could be compromised due to the linux isos i host on jellyfin due to some sneaky smart-TV stuff?

Interesting thought.

IANAL, but I understand that most successful prosecutions have been for /distributing/ copyright material, rather than /consuming/ it. I think that's quite a big distinction, legally, and watching a dodgy recording is less clearly illegal in many countries and may be entirely legal - even if they could prove that filename = actual file.
