Motion Picture Association (MPA) Issue a DMCA notice to the GitHub repo It has a playlist that allows viewers to watch Pluto TV broadcasts on their own apps, such as VLC, MPV, and Tvheadend. From a report: It was the first step Noted by TorrentFreak, and GitHub complied and removed the repo, which ultimately did nothing. If you still have a small text file, you can still do exactly what MPA tried to stop you from doing. Pluto TV, for those who don’t watch it, is a Paramount-owned service that allows users to legally stream movies and TV shows for free on a multitude of devices. They have a mobile app and apps for Xbox, PlayStation, smart TVs, and dongles. Users don’t even need to register to use it. In turn, Pluto’s business model is based on serving ads and tracking user behavior. It’s part of a new breed of streaming products called Free Ad-supported TV, or FAST. The GitHub repo in question has M3U playlists for watching Pluto TV content via an app like VLC. The repo basically took the links that were already available and collected them in one place. It should be noted that M3U files are not torrent files; It’s just a simple playlist file that can point to local files and web resources.
