I suspect this is a lot more of the motivation than people using hetzner to host pirated Plex libraries. Plex is pretty pirate-friendly.
I’ve certainly experienced the waves of malicious bot traffic coming from hetzner IPs, where blocking hetzner is a convenient and easy solution. If my customers were using hetzner, I’d have to find a better and more difficult solution. I understand why Plex would want to get their legitimate users to stop using the IP ranges they want to block at the firewall level.
- wildrhythms 3y ago>pirate-friendly. What does it mean for a provider to be pirate-friendly? Not to act on takedown requests?
- erinnh 3y agoThey do act on takedown requests. They forward them to the customer and ask you to deal with it. If you dont, you will be fired as customer.
- notatoad 3y agoi mean their whole platform is built to suit the needs of people who pirate movies and TV. it's a system purpose-built for watching pirated content. they might pretend it isn't to attract investors and avoid drawing the ire of authorities, but we all know what it is.
