I have to say, I don't really get what Plex is even doing these days. In fairness I don't know if they do, either: the bulk of their user base is centered around the playback of pirated content which isn't exactly the kind of money-spinning market anyone truly wants to be in.
It looks like they've been trying to "go legit" by offering free streaming options etc but the content is weak and they must have the stats showing that no-one uses it. So now they're promoting e-mail newsletters highlighting the pirated content people are watching? I just don't get it.
But I paid for a lifetime pass years ago and their DVR functionality works just about well enough for me, so I still run it. The inertia is strong.
- donmcronald 3y agoThis shows pretty clearly they’re indexing the content on everyone’s servers. I wonder if the MPAA, etc. could make the argument they’re inducing piracy by allowing it to happen. I also wonder if Plex could be forced to give up identity info on people that are suppliers via shared instances.
