I actually keep a list of works that I've shared online that would've likely been lost without my intervention. Physical-only Bandcamp releases that I've ripped and shared. Sample packs that have been taken down from webstores, etc. The Internet isn't forever people. Better archive what you can

Why would any country ban torrenting? Torrenting isn't illegal, downloading and distributing copyrighted works is

I download the Top 10 on public trackers periodically just to seed. Free storage space is just wasted

I purposefully leave a lot of movies/shows on my hard drive that I don't watch. I seed them and if I need more space I'll just delete them. But otherwise I'm just wasting space on the drive

Those are two seperate issues really. You can abolish IP but a company could still produce products that aren't repairable

Plex shouldn't have access to your self-hosted services in the first place. My Jellyfin can't be shut off by the Jellyfin project maintainer. My LibreOffice can't be uninstalled from my computer by The Document Foundation. At least... they shouldn't ever be expected to.

Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv

Why is that the fault of those selling Plex shares? That's the fault of Plex for taking that drastic action, and even having the power to disable access to their software which is self hosted on a VPS.
