Ah - didn’t know it had been released on physical media.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_(miniseries)
It was released on DVD and Blu-ray, if he purchased the disc and ripped it to his media, and hasn’t shared those files with anyone, then it is legal, as an exception to copyright in the US, where Jeff and Google are both based.
Jeff has stated on multiple occasions that he purchases and rips his media, and does not use piracy.

Ripping is illegal as well. DVD and BlueRay decoders are highly illegal.

This is incorrect in the US. Ripping DVD and Blu-ray media for personal use has been part of the fair use doctrine since 2015.
