I wonder why MPA didn't try to DMCA takedown Firefox and Chromium. I mean, copyrighted works are available through these "Projects", too, right?

  The obvious answer is that the majority use of Chromium and Firefox are not to circumvent copyright.

    Fortunately, as far as I'm aware, the legality of whether you can provide some service is not based on what the majority use-case is. Otherwise, cryptocurrency would probably be illegal immediately, as I'm pretty sure the current majority use-case is drugs and ransom payments.

    I wonder if Plex could be in hot waters though. I guess they've been working hard trying to pivot to providing content themselves with a subscription but I'm sure 90% of the Plex use is still for hosting pirated content.
