I assume most companies write somewhere in their terms that “lifetime” means effectively “whenever the fuck we want”.

If there is a company that uses the word lifetime properly they may be worth a mention.

One man’s feature is another man’s anti-feature.

Having power over others means there is temptation to use that power for your own gain, and at others’ expense. Resisting that all the time is a lot of effort. Best to reduce the amount of power to a more manageable level, and affect fewer people if not resisted.

Hopefully we’ll have more compassion in the future and treat criminals like they’re in need of help… not ideal test subjects for a new torture machine.

Plex is in control of their user’s computing in a way Jellyfin isn’t. You can remove anti-features from Jellyfin software and even redistribute it. So it’s much less likely they would do something like Plex and it even doesn’t matter if they did as you can find others to work on it in a way you want. Plex is proprietary software, Jellyfin is software freedom.

Although Plex is running on your server it isn’t there to do what you want… unless Plex’s real owner permits it.

That’s how proprietary software works.
