![[ COMMUNITY UPDATE ] - A Note on piracy and Lemmy.world's decision to ban piracy communities - 2023-08-14](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b1f00b7c-f486-43cd-a2b0-42a8438868c2.png){kind=link}
As you may know, Lemmy.world has decided to ban any communities that deal with the subjects of piracy. Considering that this sub might be considered piracy-adjacent, I’d like to make it clear that discussing the subject directly is not allowed, nor is requesting/offering Plex shares in posts or comments.
This is a community for discussing Plex products, serivices, add-ons, etc. and getting adivce and support or those apps/services. It’s not a place to discuss piracy. I understand this is a fine line to walk and requires a certain amount of compartmentalization in our discussions, but it’s what keeps our discussions from becoming legally problematic (depending on your jurisdiction) for our instance hosts and keeps our community federated with and visible to as many users as possible!
Thanks, Everyone!

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.
Wtf? What are non pirate uses for Plex?
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.
