Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

Most people use the service for perfectly legitimate purposes.

But also, the copyright infringement is for using a picture of an actress on their website; the photographer who took the photo usually licenses it for third party use, and Plex didn't have permission to use it.

But also, the copyright infringement is for injesting automatically from a third party a picture of an actress on their website
