Plex Sued for Copyright Infringement by Press Agency * TorrentFreak

Zuma Press has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Plex streaming platform at a California federal court.

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.

    The same photo is still in use by The Movie DB, one of Plex’s data suppliers.

    So someone submitted a copyrighted image to a 3rd-party user-created database and Plex ingested the image.

    Seems like the claimant has a legitimate case but it's strange that they didn't sue the people actually providing the image. Not enough money in it, probably.
