So... will I get swatted if I use plex/jellyfin? in c/freemediaheckyeah@lemmy.fmhy.ml

I've been using Plex and bittorrent on a Whatbox.ca box in Virginia for a couple years now and haven't gotten so much as a DMCA notice. I mostly use iptorrents but I do use public torrents when what I want isn't available there.
