Plex Sued for Copyright Infringement by Press Agency - eviltoast

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.

    Wow, how does any of this make sense? Plex doesn’t host the image… seems like another case of corporate execs having no fucking clue about anything. 5/7 gg

      I thought the whole point of these things is to sue them so you can get it front of a judge who might say it is in fact legally Plex’s responsibility, so the whole thing becomes Plex’s legal responsibility, and they can either crack down massively internally or get sued into oblivion by others, and they didn’t have to go through the whole big rigamarole of suing each individual person.
