I really enjoy having Plex as my media server. It’s about the same amount of hassle as Emby, and there’s also Jellyfin which I haven’t dabbled into yet.

I believe that information and knowledge should be free anyways (at least in a perfect world), because that leads to the betterment of society. Also if you are able to use the knowledge you learn from the things you pirate I think you’ll be able to come back and support those things that got you to where you are.
