    1- You should never ask for legal advice online. Not only does it set a precedent, but you can't trust the opinions of random strangers on the web for any critical situation.

    2- If you are unsure about the legality of any particular course of action, always consult a legal professional first, or at the very least research the laws that would apply beforehand.

    3- Like DP said, I'm not a lawyer so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

    If you ask me, sharing your jellyfin library with some friends and family would be akin to inviting them to your house to play your BluRay movie collection to them. It's just not a significant large scale distribution of media for any studio to really care and prosecute. As for states, they often act at the behest of said copyright holders and what they care about is, like I said, large scale distribution, particularly if monetized; if you had several hundred thousands of users and god forbid charge for access to your library, then that's when you should be concerned. There's also a logistics problem with going after users with a media server: there's probably millions and in many different countries. It would seem very unlikely for anybody to go after some random dude with a Jellyfin server for mom and pop and the like, and much less for anybody watching content remotely on somebody else's server.
