Unauthorized Commercial Use of Jellyfin Branding and Software - jellypolice - 2024-11-22

Hi team,

I want to bring to your attention an entity operating under the name "--edited--", which seems to be using Jellyfin's branding without authorization. They are offering paid subscription plans that include access to movies and series, streaming on multiple devices, and an ad-free experience, as seen in the screenshot below.

Key concerns:
  1. Monetization: They are charging for services that appear to leverage Jellyfin's open-source software, which is meant to be free for all users.
  2. Brand Misrepresentation: Their website name and Facebook page "--edited--" suggest an affiliation with Jellyfin, potentially misleading customers into thinking this is an official service.
  3. Paid Subscriptions: They offer "Basic," "Premium," and "VIP" plans, priced up to ₱469/year, implying monetized access to features such as ad-free viewing and multi-device streaming—features Jellyfin itself provides for free.
  4. Commercial Use: Selling access to media libraries and "priority customer support" under the Jellyfin name could violate your licensing terms.
  5. Copyright Infringement: Their subscription service offers access to movies and series that are clearly pirated content. They advertise an "extensive movie and series library," which are illegally sourced and redistributed, putting them in direct violation of copyright laws.

Evidence:
  • Website URL: "--edited--"
  • Facebook Page: "--edited--"
  • Screenshot of Subscription Plans (showing paid tiers for pirated content):

I've attached screenshots of their subscription plans and service offerings for reference. I hope the team can investigate this further and take appropriate action to protect Jellyfin's brand and open-source integrity.

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. But there isn't much we can do.
