@binarybits Same thing could have been said about YouTube around the time of Viacom v. Youtube.

@sarahjeong Really? Were there links to Hollywood movies on YouTube's home page?

@binarybits Don't recall how the front page was organized. If it was by tailored recommendation like it is now, then it would have for some.

@binarybits yeah and if all that is organized by meta data + user statistics --- e.g., blind algorithms? Reminds me of Plex or Roksbox.

@sarahjeong It looks like Plex requires you to decide which friends to share with. That seems different than making piracy the default.

@binarybits Oh, I meant that the interface is blindly organized by metadata on the files. So Plex doesn’t have to “know” I’m watching

@sarahjeong I'm not sure "blindly" is the right word given that PT chose a default torrent feed that's full of infringing content.
