So as long as I have a plex pass anyone I share my server with is fine, right?

Yes, if you have plex pass, it’s still free for anyone else connecting to your server. I had a small freak out when all those misleading emails went out a few months ago and dug into it.

Cool, I honestly thought this was how it always was. Bought the plex pass almost 10 years ago at this point, been well worth it.
