It’s also odd that they wouldn’t start with a simple takedown notice or Cease & Desist notice. Courts don’t tend to look kindly upon frivolous lawsuits when it’s clear that the filing party didn’t try to resolve things out of court first. Because it ties up the system when courts could be focused on bigger or more complicated issues. Judges don’t appreciate feeling like their time is being wasted.

Its just an api.. lol :(

Backing up your own physical media is a legitimate and legal privilege though

Yeah it doesn't matter your experience. You need to accept everyone is innocent unless you can prove it. So... To bad

It works great as a DVR for my OTA antenna.

There's no reason to use Plex as a front end for all other streaming services.

I’ll disagree here. If I don’t know where something is, I can just list all of the streaming services I subscribe to in Plex and just go there to start watching something.

Moreover the individual streaming services have designed their apps to literally hide the shows you’ve been watching whereas Plex keeps things front and centre. Much smoother.

They know that. They have to pretend they don't know that.

I thought the whole point of these things is to sue them so you can get it front of a judge who might say it is in fact legally Plex's responsibility, so the whole thing becomes Plex's legal responsibility, and they can either crack down massively internally or get sued into oblivion by others, and they didn't have to go through the whole big rigamarole of suing each individual person.

They probably started with uploading the file themselves lol

Wasting the time, energy, and money of Plex is the goal though. Do it enough times and the business folds.

But also, the copyright infringement is for injesting automatically from a third party a picture of an actress on their website
