You may (half) joke, but MPAA attention on Jellyfin would suck.

I'd like to call this "the Ubuntu buffer".

Maybe a dumb question: What exactly could go wrong? Has the MPAA done anything to stifle Kodi?

https://www.digital-digest.com/news-64644-Netflix-Amazon-Join-Forces-with-the-MPAA-to-Sue-Kodi-Box-Maker.html

Based on our research, comparative search volume for “Kodi” has fallen around 85 percent from 2017 to 2022. Google Trends data reveals the dramatic decline started in Q2 of 2017 and has, for the most part, continued that trend up to this point. Consequently, the decline in people searching for Kodi directly relates to the appearance of the coordinated attack against piracy in the form of ACE.

And this is with Kodi furiously distancing itself from pirates at the time.

Attacks don’t have to be direct. Though they absolutely can be, too.
