You should look into hosting a Plex server for her. My brother set one up after I cancelled our Netflix and our tech-illterate mother loves it. The only change for her was moving from clicking on the Netflix icon on her TV to clicking on the Plex icon.

    This is the way to go if you really want to be a pro piracy advocate.

    Most people can’t be bothered with the complexities of torrents or codecs. Luckily that’s my shit, and I put together a 4x16TB NAS setup and started hosting a Plex instance for family initially, then added some coworkers. It’s a fun little hobby, and my users are able to save on streaming services.

    Also, I’ve found a majority of users really don’t care much about quality, so I’m able to serve up multiple streams on only 40Mbps upload without noticing any network slowdowns.
