Plex to block hosting servers on Hetzner boxes

Everyone hosting a Plex server on Hetzner infrastructure received an email from Plex over the weekend telling them "due to the large-scale violations occurring from that hosting provider, we will be taking action soon to block access and activity from Plex Media Servers hosted by that provider" - even if the content hosted on that Plex server is entirely legitimate. Sure, there's a shitload of pay for access Plex servers on Hetzner full of pirate material and I get why Plex doesn't want anything to do with that, but it's disturbing Plex is monitoring where your server is hosted. Good time to look at Jellyfin for your media hosting needs.
