Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    If it’s only on your local home network, it’s not a problem at all. When you say ‘phone home’, it makes me think maybe you’re accessing it remotely over the internet, in which case it would be very easy for your ISP or anyone who is curious to see what files are being shared.

    Real life consequences range from your ISP saying stoppit to reporting agencies flagging you as a distributor of illegal content and reporting you to the FBI.

    Of course, this is me assuming the files you’re hosting are copyrighted movies and things of that nature, and that you sweat the FBI at all. I dunno what country you live in.
