This is a relevant read regarding DRM, DCMA, and other pertinent laws.
The OP's stated purpose is not clear ( otherwise I would not warn ). Anytime someone states that the purpose is to 'share' on the network it may be assumed that public sharing is involved; until proven otherwise. Sharing by definition is not personal use. I don't share with myself.
Warning is not fear-mongering, not is it a scare tactic; warning is just that -- be careful ! Certainly if fair use is employed then no problem.
Even the MiniDlna sites ( which the OP intends to use , well its the only one that really works ) all WARN their users to follow all pertinent local laws for their jurisdiction; I find that its always best to warn in any case.
Any time someone brings up 'sharing' within the context of the digital age (modern copyright law) anything remotely related to copyright, public access, and DRM is relevant ; particularly in the overall context of warning the public about the problem. Which is my last point, this is not only about warning, its about education. Anyone intending to use minidlna should be very interested in copyright law, DCMA, DRM, and all other pertinent case studies that may affect their sharing !
