Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company * TorrentFreak

Plex has informed users that it will no longer allow servers to be run at a hosting provider where lots of TOS violations occur.

In an email to customers who run Plex servers at the large German hosting company Hetzner, Plex said that access will be blocked next month. It’s not clear if Hetzner is the only hosting company this applies to, but several customers confirmed that they received the same email.

Has anyone here on Lemmy got this notice? Self-hosting is still in the green, but with this precedent who knows what Plex could do later.

      I actually had to look it up because it sounded like Winamp, but it didn’t kick llama’s ass. Is that what they kept peddling along with Tidal sub?

      Honest question, do you not have Prime or Apple music sub or stuff you listen to is so unique, neither of those have it?

          That sounds like a massive enough collection to never get bored with, but don’t you want new music at least on occasion? Do you just buy individual songs or albums and add to your collection? Do costs add up? I imagine redundant storage with at least some sort of backup for collection that large isn’t cheap.

          Just trying to compare it to streaming service I get as part of my $120/year Prime membership.
