Konsider 23 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 As the title says, are these legit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/No-Live-Tv-Emby-12-Months-subscription-1000-Tv-And-Movie-Shows/173854928170?hash=item287a8fad2a:g:LwwAAOSwxbFcnc86&frcectupt=true and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/emby-movie-tv-show-12-month-warranty-subscription/123677249714?hash=item1ccbbd10b2:g:mjIAAOSwQita1MFs&frcectupt=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac 100 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Most likely this is someone that has an emby server and is selling access to it. It wouldn't be offered from emby directly. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche 174 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Almost seems like they're selling membership access to there own server. But it also seems like they're saying Emby itself provides the service. Would stay far away from something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konsider 23 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yep, very strange. I couldn't work out what was actually being sold, but as you both indicated, it seems like something pretty dodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh_48 943 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I know that selling access to a server is against Plex's terms of service and I believe it is against Emby's as well. While the offers may work for a while if Emby investigates they may well stop any access to the accounts involved and I do not think that remote access can continue to work without periodic checking of the Emby account. In any case that selling of access is clearly not what Emby is intended for and they are probably violating international copyright law as well as Emby's TOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8277 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Yes Emby needs to say something as Emby is not providing this service, whoever it running the server is providing the service. I know there are providers out there but to me they should be rebranding their servers. They should not be promoted with the Emby name.

OddbOd 21 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Such use appears to violate Section 4c of Emby's Terms of Service or put another way, yes, they're scams. Both accounts are almost certainly reselling content without a license by misrepresenting themselves as support or warranty services to evade eBay's rules. The XBMC Foundation has had this problem for years but can get dodgy "Kodi Box" listings removed immediately because they hold trademarks on their name and logos. Hopefully Emby will do the same as it brings the brand in to serious disrepute. Edited April 1, 2019 by OddbOd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
