Google Drive and Dropbox both have extensive history regarding the storage of copyrighted content which basically boils down to storing it is fine, sharing it through the platform is not. This is even in their policies.
I believe the DMCA is the same, there's nothing stopping you from possessing copyrighted content without a license, just the distribution and manufacture of it.
- bubblethink 10y agoPlex allows sharing though. So it's a fine line. It's probably a small enough userbase, and it's personalized sharing as opposed to general p2p sharing. So it's under the radar. If it goes mainstream, Google/Dropbox will be forced to comply by the studios.
- Veratyr 10y agoPlex is basically acting as a proxy though, so there's no way for a complainant to know that Google Drive is involved.
