Copyright/DMCA notices for Hetzner have been mentioned already but that seems unlikely.
Nobody knows what’s on a PLEX server, they are not public. No rights agency can run checks for any info about hosted media. Family & friends reporting their own family member for copyrighted material? Hetzner illegally snooping in customer data?
A copyright notice would go to the customer who owns/rents the server, not to the data centre owner (Hetzner).
It just doesn’t fit together with copyright, so I assume another reason.
I assume copyright holders search around for those paid plex servers and then send a notice to them.
I have heard that Hetzner forward notices to customers and then they force them off the platform in x amount of days.
Maybe it’s a hassle to deal with or they want to keep the service reputable. Not sure why they would complain to Plex though.
It might be something entirely different.
I have no idea, but it sounds like Plex was contacted by Hetzner.
It’s a very good question as to either party would give a shit.
Maybe some people host huge Plex servers there and they have gotten DMCA notices and Hetzner doesn’t like that.
