Feeling very conflicted right now.

On the other hand, it'd be absolutely hilarious if they succeeded with this argument. VPN vendors would not find that as hilarious I bet.

And on another the hypocrisy is mindboggling. I guess you can't blame the lawyers from going after every angle, but this is quite creative.

But really I do just want to find out if money continues to buy justice.

I sincerely hope Facebook loses and is found to have knowingly infringed on copyright of all the books in the lawsuit. At $150K per violation, I'd almost feel bad for the poor shareholders. Zuck would probably take full responsibility and fire tens of thousand of workers.

It's a win-win situation. Either pirates win or Meta loses.

Ordinary piracy would still be illegal since it's not for AI training.
