    Plex prices are expensive just to access your own media.

    I’m as guilty as the next guy, but it’s nearly never our “own” media.

      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.

      Maybe that’s not the most popular content on my Plex config but all my fishing session recordings are on it and those belong to me :)

      It is though. Property doesn’t know who it belongs to like crap you steal in a video game, all flagged red when you try to sell it at a potion shop. Owning the information on your computer is as natural as owning the bugs that are eating your mouldy mint plant.

        I have accidentally observed a reflection of a Disney movie in the reflective windows from a house i do not live and saved that information trough my retinas into my brain.

        Who needs to go to jail in this situation? I who now possesses illegal information in my mind, or the careless home owner who flashed their copy onto me?

        Pie in the sky techno babble with zero meaning. How the fuck did this comment get up votes?
