In Switzerland it technically is legal. Only hosting for others is illegal.

Ah, didn’t notice the two. There was a short period the subtitles on Plex had the warning the API was going to change backed into them.
And Plex’s on-demand subtitle download.
I was OK with the ads. Just a message before the dialogue and a message after the movie dialogue was over.
But paying for subs? Good luck.
No no, I can read the audience. He can get a pre-built NAS from the likes of Synology or QNAS with a nifty simplified web interface. They are very low maintenance and there are detailed, step-by-step guides to turn them into streaming monsters.
Can you get better hardware for less money? If you go the DIY route without a doubt. But sometimes you want a box with a bunch of drives to store your movies and serve them without a hassle and you can buy that.
My only complaint is Synology skimps too much on the RAM.
Unless you’re running a full network setup like Linus
I’m not sure I understand what that means but yes, a NAS is not indispensable, but it’s a great convenience. Pre-NAS that’s how I rolled until I didn’t want to have to run my full-powered gaming PC all the time.
I got that but wondered if he knew what an NAS can be. It doesn’t need to be complicated but you are right: he can just add a bunch of HDDs to his current PC and install the necessary server apps. But I doubt someone who doesn’t want to bother with an added NAS has a PC that can host a bunch of extra SATA drives.
Get a Synology NAS, put HDDs in it, easily install Torrent client and media server software, and enjoy.
A NAS is a box for HDDs, a low-powered computer to drive them, an OS, and some bits of software you choose to run on it.
In my country, they are surprisingly conservative socially-wise so meh.
Also Bandcamp.
