Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

Most people use the service for perfectly legitimate purposes. On the fringes, however, some users abuse the software to share pirate libraries publicly, a considerable thorn in the side for rightsholders.

I've been using it for over a decade and I don't know single person that uses it for "perfectly legitimate purposes" (assuming they mean "not for pirated content, considering the next sentence). There's no reason to use Plex as a front end for all other streaming services.

Yeah it doesn't matter your experience. You need to accept everyone is innocent unless you can prove it. So... To bad

What? I'm not a lawyer out to get people, I'm just saying that the majority of their userbase is most likely playing pirated material.

And I'm saying you can't prove that, so it doesn't matter. It's just a guess. A good one in my opinion, but nothing else.
