    A private company that knows you pirate media has your name and billing address and you’re calm as a cucumber?

    Man.

      A private company who’s entire use case is facilitating streaming pirated media. The only time Plex blocks or exposes it’s customers is the time the company completely implodes

      This is fair. I’m not super comfortable with it. I really do hope to migrate away.

        It literally plays through Plex’s proxies and redirect network to get from A to B. Pretending they don’t know is willfully ignorant. They need only take a peek, which they very well can.
