Meta’s copyright defense may hinge on court ignorance of torrenting terminology.

    I am fine if they want to fight to set a case where piracy is not illegal.

    I do think they are profiting off that content, and that definitely is illegal.

      They also maybe didn’t seed that content but they are still passing it out through another channel now.

    Ignorance of the law is not protection from the law
