War and Peace (1956) has no poster art

It’s fairly rare. Everything I’ve noticed that’s afflicted with it is from the 1940s-1970s. I assume it’s one particular company that misfired with these takedown requests. This is why you would expect it to be more important for Plex (or Gracenote, or whoever’s job it is) to contest bullshit DMCA claims – because it’s so clearly not a general issue that it also can’t possibly be a specific issue.

If you check my post history you can see others:

You can also note that despite Plex’s repeated commitment to doing better at metadata, none of these 8 topics have received replies from anyone associated with Plex. That’s why I generally stopped reporting these. I’ve seen a half-dozen cases since then,.

FYI I have also stopped reporting the literally hundreds of poster art that are obviously, unfathomably bad when TMDB’s offerings are good, and all of the release date metadata errors I find. Staff seem generally uninterested in following up or fixing reports.
