It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.
Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.
I’m in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?
P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I’m not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service
Must be why instead of law enforcement it was plex who was shutting down hundreds of paid servers. Seems like way too many people wanted to sell their legal risk for some 10$/month per user. I’m sure they’d still be happy to do it if not for plex’s stubborness.
Plex could be held liable as a vicarious enabler of infringement. Your suggestion that they turn a blind eye would endanger their very existence. Of course they are going to capitulate. It’s a wonder they still exist as it is.
