    Well shoot, I guess QBittorrent is worth a trillion dollars.

    I'll copy the whole announcement here for those who don't want to click:

    > I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

    If OP is willing to cooperate, I'd like to offer an independent investigation on site, and I will be bringing pizza

    They left out the part where they profit. Otherwise, it checks out.
