Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

    I understand what you’re saying here, but I want to let you know that it just sounds like “sour grapes”.

    It sounds like this provider is allowing something that could put Plex in legal hot water; why would they allow this and potentially jeopardize everything for all Plex users?

      A lot of people self host so they are in control. This is Plex taking away that control, plain and simple.

      I don’t know how many people host completely legitimately acquired content in their libraries, but your reasoning is such a cop out. Are you gonna defend them if they start scanning libraries for potentially illegally obtained content and blocking that because it could “put them in legal hot water?”

        I’m not here to argue & you’ve got some good points. I am defending no one; this isn’t a situation where I’m in the “hail corporate” camp.

        The minute Plex started taking money back in 2012, anyone who thought Plex was still creating this product+service out of the goodness of their hearts has been missing the point. The writing has been on the wall for 10+ years.
