Technology and piracy always will find a way. Even if Plex goes tits up, we have options with Jellyfin and Emby. Sharing may not be great or even possible in some or all circumstances, but I'm sure if Plex shuts down today they'll go into overdrive to bring things more up to speed since there'll be a real need for it. If not, someone else will come up with something to replace it, or something new.
Hell only reason I started using Plex in the first place was because I was using Universal Media Server and was tired of putting up with it's shit. Only reason I was on that was cause I was tired of Playstation Media Server beforehand, and if I hadn't smoked my brain cells away I'd tell you the same thing for whatever I used before that too lmao. We'll always find new ways to pirate, and to share that content. Plex just became so commonplace cause it's so damned easy and (..mostly..) works well.
