It’s what drove me to wrestling torrents, The WWE network was great, it had chapters, and the stuff was easy to find, then they sold it off to Peacock and stuff is hard to find, they have no chapters, they censored some of the old controversial stuff, it’s just a lesser experience than the old Network. I’m very interested to see how it’s integrated into Netflix, and if they move the US to Netflix when the Peacock deal is over.

Well if that argument works out for the studios, Oneida better get ready because I’ll be seeing them in court. After all, they made the spoons that I used to eat the ice cream that made me fat.

WB Discovery is still getting their cut from Westworld, Raised by Wolves, and a dozen or so others by licensing it out to The Roku Channel streaming service of all things. So those actors went from getting scraps from HBO Max to probably next to nothing from Roku. I don’t know if that’s worse than having the content completely removed or not considering Roku is like Pluto TV and airs things more like cable.

In recent years, copyright holders have repeatedly requested Plex to take more action against piracy.

Their preferred method of logging into your own home server by going through their website should really give you pause when reading about how anti-piracy organizations pressure them.

Anonymous Data

In addition to the information described above, Plex collects anonymised data when users interact with our services. This includes:

• Server / library data
• DVR device information: manufacturer name and model

There have been numerous stories over the years about how anonymized data isn’t really anonymous.

When all the big cable players started making their own streaming services, most of us knew they weren’t going to let their gravy train go. We know they want us to use the ad-tiers because Iger flat out said so because it makes them more money, and I’m still expecting contracts to be their next big idea, sign up for 2 years, get 1-year half-price. Meet new cable, same as the old cable. It’s following a similar playbook too with no ads to some ads and ever-increasing prices.

I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can’t believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.
