My friend won't pirate movies for security purposes (hexbear.net)

I've got a friend I know from college. We where gonna do a movie night and I offered her access to my server that contains all my very legally attained media.

Said she'll have to decline because of "security concerns with work and everything". Apparently if she watches Shakma the dastardly Chinese spies will steal company secrets.

The absolute state of Americans.

I had a friend who freaked out over me streaming pirated films over discord. Like they didnt even have the files they just though them being in a chat with illegal media streaming was going to get them in legal trouble

I haven't read up on Discord's TOS lately, but I absolutely would not trust them to not spy on my shit.
