It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

Unless you already paid for a lifetime Plex pass, I highly recommend giving Jellyfin a try.

They don't have NAT punchthrough like Plex, but they also aren't trying to push streaming content on you. It's just your library, and that's it.

Yep, bought a lifetime license like a decade ago when it was cheap. I've stuck with it since it's been simple for my family to use.
