We have 3 thigns
- free streaming content that is provided by content owners ( paid for with advertising) this cannot be downloaded and may be geo-restricted for playback based on what the content owner allows us to . that particular titlle https://watch.plex.tv/show/mayday-2 is geo restricted to just the USA
- we display all metadata we can find all movies and shows we know about and if we know it is available on a streaming service. We can tell you it is on Netfllx in your region and have a link so you can go to the Netfllix app to watch for example. This metadata is also use for the Plex Media Server
- You can install the free Plex Media Server on your computer to stream your own files from that computer to our player apps available on various types of devices. Sort of like installing itunes on your computer. The metadata in #2 is also used to make the display of movies and such look nice with posters, summaries and actor data etc. You can give access to your files to other folks with Plex accounts. and can play stuff back locally on network or remotely
The paid subscription “Plex Pass” (aka Premium) allows for downloading content from a Plex Media Server and other benefits for the person running the Plex Media Server. It does not grant access to download the ad supported content from content owners.
I can give you links to more details but it does not seem like a subscription for premium would be worth it for you
