I would like to share my jellyfin movies and tv shows with my friend. I was thinking about allowing only his IP address to connect to my jellyfin server.

Is it a crime? Can I be arrested for this? I do not plan on running a mega operation for hundreds of people.

Is that ok to do?

All responses are saying "it is illegal". But is it more illegal than pirating a movie for yourself only? Would it still be illegal if you would have paid for the movie? In that case it seems like lending the dvd to a friend...

Distributing to others is "more illegal" than consuming it yourself

Yes but if you torrent a movie just for yourself to watch, you're distributing it to hundreds of people, so it's way worse
