There are numerous dubiously legal (at best) streaming services that serve using Plex.

Why pay for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount, etc when you can buy one service at lower cost that any of those, have all the big stuff automatically, and request whatever you want, just with a slight delay.

A lot of those sketchy services reskin and copy left Plex though. Otherwise Plex will give them the bonk and report them.
