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.

Lmao, did they start with a C&D or just go straight to court?

It was ingested automatically from a public source; if you didn't even bother to inform them of the infringement, the case should be thrown out for that alone. There's no intent here, it's just incidental.

What a waste of time, energy, and money, for all involved...

They probably started with uploading the file themselves lol

Wasting the time, energy, and money of Plex is the goal though. Do it enough times and the business folds.
