[ COMMUNITY UPDATE ] - A Note on piracy and Lemmy.world's decision to ban piracy communities - 2023-08-14 in c/plex@lemmy.ml
[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I think it’s pretty disturbing that you think that there’s anything in common with keeping the conversations in this community relevant and the atrocities committed in Ukraine by the illegal invasion by Russia.

worse, that you’d try to blame me or any of it. but don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about the rules here ever again.

here’s the thing about that: it takes going to court to argue that and hoping you get a favorable ruling.

and that’s very, very expensive and you could be shut down via injunction until that happens, which could take years.

and even if the lemmy.world admin could afford hundred of thousands or millions in legal fees to win a case against the RIAA and/or MPAA, why would they want to risk it?

you’re perfectly free to discuss that elsewhere (well, in most places, that is).

in this community we discuss how to install, configure, troubleshoot, etc. Plex and plex add-ons as well as features and so on.

Where or how you acquire your content (with the exception of Plex streaming content) is irrelevant and not an appropriate subject for conversation here if it involves piracy.

Sorry.

EDIT: it should be noted that discussions that may involve piracy ARE PERMITTED (as it pertains to Plex and its add-ons) in our Matrix community chats (linked above and in the sidebar), as they’re not Lemmy-related and aren’t going to get this community in trouble here. However, all other rules still apply.

free speech is never guaranteed on private platforms, and it’s explicitly not permitted in moderated communities. you even had to agree to a code of conduct which limits your speech when you created you account. if you came here expecting that, you came to the wrong place.

your participation here is a privilege conditional on your adherence to a social contract which, if you violate, will be revoked. keep that in mind. your freedom is to follow the rules or exercise your freedoms elsewhere.

uninformed opinion or not, I’d like to play it safe and ensure this community stays open and viewable to as many people as possible. I know the Plex subreddit ran into issues in the past, and I’d like to avoid them.

please follow the rules and keep in mind that this sub is of discussing Plex and its addons, not piracy. there are other places for that.

IIRC, lemmy.world is hosted in the US, making them liable under US laws.

But he’s still managing to prevent the Rs from rebranding into something sane enough idiots can vote for.

I seriously doubt there’s any danger of that happening, but would that really be so horrible? if the republicans became more… sane?

Hey, Everyone!

As you may have noticed, there have been some additions to the sidebar. I've added some links that I hope the community will find useful:

  • Plex FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about using Plex Media Server and client apps with many useful links
  • Plex App Setup Guide - Visual guide for first-run setup of Plex apps on smart devices (content thanks to user @tron@lemm.ee)
  • Useful Plex Add-ons - Detailed info on many Plex add-ons with setup guides and other useful links

Of course, if anyone else has any useful links, etc. they'd like to share, please comment on this post or share in your own post. The best links might even get added to the sidebar!

Cheers!
