TL;DR: They asked Github to take down a repository that acted as a Plex share proxy.

If I understand it correctly, this software allows you to bypass some Plex sharing permissions by allowing you to re-share other people's libraries.
While this can be seen as DMCA abuse by Plex, I personally think it's partially justified (it probably goes against the TOS), and no "regular" user would need it.
It's not a surprise, since they are constantly at "war" against people who use their software to do illegal business. Since their software is relatively polished and well-supported across multiple platforms, some use it to build Netflix clones with illegal content. The repository referenced by the article is probably a helpful tool for such actors.
