This is making me mad enough that I’m going to spend my weekend figuring out a media server and pirating movies.

If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing. Fuck those guys.

It’s been 20 years since I’ve pirated shit, but here we are again…

If you're not experienced in media servers, I'd recommend a QNAP NAS and then install either Jellyfin or Emby. (Plex has really gone downhill in the last 10 years imho.) QNAP is terrible for experienced users, but as Baby's First NAS it's absolutely sublime.

Thank you for mentioning Emby. I've been using it for years. It's rarely ever mentioned in the Plex/Jellyfin conversation.

Of course! It's fantastic. I went from Plex --> Emby --> Jellyfin and honestly if I could have afforded it I would have purchased the 100 USD lifetime license. They work really hard and deserve the money.

They've been getting $5 a month from me for who knows how long. I'm definitely happy to contribute.

A queerly sticky ego defense mechanism.
