I'll copy the whole announcement here for those who don't want to click:

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

The Jellyfin instance, which normally just plays Ubuntu and other distro ISOs, of course.

I too stream Linux ISOs via my Jellyfin. My family enjoys it as well.

DVD/Blu-Ray rips are legal in some countries if you don't distribute them

You can also have open-source songs like the GNU/hackers one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw

There is only one song though.
