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.

i love that these collections will get easier to aggregate, maintain and copy around with storage becoming stupidly cheap and tiny. inevitably someday this will just be a local stash people wont need to stream at all.
i once made a joke about having a 1gb hard drive while grooming my 40mb drive for storage.
Already rocking one of those local stashes. My Plex is up to like 40 tb of movies and shows
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.
Same, also 20TB of TV shows that would probably be removed by a streaming company anyways. Adding Overseerr or Jellyseerr with all the other *arr services makes pirating easier than using the legal options.
I’m around 200tb currently, working to move to a new server that will let me house 800tb worth of disks, before I consider getting a shelf to expand to.
At this point. I don’t know which is cheaper. The hardware, maintenance, and power or just paying all those subs.
