Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company * TorrentFreak
torrentfreak.com
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 probably average a couple of albums a month (I only buy albums unless something is not available as part of an album). My storage is a Synology 920+ with 36Tb it’s just over half full. I hear new music all the time. (But have you listened to new music?). I’m going to see Greta Van Fleet on Friday (I guess that might be considered new’ish) if there’s an opening act, and they’re any good, I’ll buy some of their music.
