Not a lawsuit but not good if they have their attention.

So... if you open up for outside sharing then soon that might no longer be a thing?

Because I can't imagine any way of enforcing "in the home", AKA this impacting people who have a mix ("legally-wise") of content on their local drives and just use Plex because they want the convenience of Big Name Streaming Sites when it comes to home-friendly viewing options... without having to copy the media files to a USB stick to plug into their Smart TV or Roku or w/e.

I can access it but the login form is blank. Trying to log in to my server forwards to app.plex.tv which is blank. And the login popup on their site is blank as well.

Maybe it's getting blocked by my firewall or something. It's not ublock blocking it tho.

My guess is there login servers are just busy with demand.
