Never mind that the unspoken secondary effects of someone running Plex on a machine, I.e. they’re probably using it to watch pirated media, which they’re probably acquiring using the same computer. I say this as someone that loves Plex. But yes, LastPass hired someone that’s this careless, and they had a structure that allowed this carelessness. Utterly unjustifiable.

I'm not sure why you would inherently assume using Plex means they likely pirate their media. I have a home server running plex where I store all the ripped bluray disks, CDs, and other media I buy.

Does Plex really have that kind of reputation?

Yeah you’re probably in the minority if you use it only for legal content. Of course Plex is mainly used for pirated content.

Wow, I had no idea about that stereotype, that's a bit sad.
