Streaming your own media shouldn’t come with a subscription. Here’s why Plex users are frustrated — and why Jellyfin might be a better bet.

    That’s the fun part of Plex: they’re a commercial company that earns money by facilitating piracy. I wonder when they’ll be investigated or sued by the RIAA

      They’re not facilitating anything other than media organization and playback. What you’re suggesting is akin to Ford being investigated for ‘facilitating bank robbery’ because some robbers used a Mustang as a getaway vehicle.

      Probably falls under same case law with Sony’s VCRs being able to record cable TV way back when https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc. Though this predates use of internet for streaming/piracy/etc, supresupreme court could interpret differently now
