We have an important update to share - we’re going to be rebranding!
That’s right, the time has come for us to say goodbye to the Plex Meta Manager name and introduce a new brand identity.
Whilst this may seem out of the blue, it is something we have been considering for nearly a year - in order to future-proof, it is important that we disassociate ourselves from the “Plex” trademark.
Rest assured, the functionality of the tool remains unchanged; only the name will be different.
We value the input of our users and invite you to help us decide our new name. We’ve included a Google Form link for your submissions. Feel free to think outside the box, but please ensure your suggestions respect existing trademarks, are practical and make sense for the product. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday April 9th at 12:00 pm EDT
Additionally, be prepared for future updates, such as the retirement of the current docker image and the introduction of a new one, or any necessary configuration changes to reflect the new branding - we will send out further updates when we have more to share on this.
Thank you for your understanding and participation in this exciting phase of our journey!
You think that will stop a team of corporate lawyers?
Actually, maybe? Meta is an example of an arbitrary trademark. Meta is a word in everyday usage, so it becomes a lot more difficult to defend than say Kodak which isn’t a word and is an example of an fanciful trademark. Could cooperate stooges take them to court and throw so much money at them they can even make a defense, of course. This is America were talking, cash is king and country. It just wouldn’t be very easy.
