- _fat_santa 4y agoTBH in this case I think PlutoTV (who I assume issued the DMCA takedown) effectively shot themselves in the foot. The problem here is that if you were to take down a bunch of episodes of a TV show, those episodes would theoretically be ~500mb a piece which means re-hosting them would be non-trivial. However when you're talking about a 50kb text file that can be shared literally anywhere, far more people now know that this is possible and can find the list with any amount of digging. If PlutoTV was smart about this, they would have kept their lawyers out of it and had their engineers quietly patch this.
- squarefoot 4y agoSome good content, unfortunately buried under a lot of advertising, which makes most of it uninteresting even if I have other means of watching it. The lists are easily available "around", good luck taking down all of them.
- bsagdiyev 4y agoWhen you block ads network wide their apps play a generic PlutoTV logo loop while they should be on. Oddly my son seems to like the visuals and music on those so that's a nice unintentional side effect of blocking ads.
