Meta was “allegedly” seeding porn to speed up their book downloads. (arstechnica.com)

Sounds like meta’s judge will have to invent a grand unified theory of fair use to excuse this.

I kept saying about various lawsuits that the important thing is discovery. Nobody knew all the idiotic shit these folks were doing, so nobody could sue them properly.

If you ever downloaded an R rated movie, you probably shared it with minors.

If a minor knows how to use bittorrent in 2025, I'm more than happy to upload R-rated movies to them. It's not like it's the biggest hurdle to overcome, but it's big enough that I trust the judgment of that young person.

    I don't think it's even illegal to watch R-rated movies as a minor, it's more of a guideline for your caretakers.

    I used that example because I didn't want to use the same inflammatory rhetorical concept as the article. Some countries might have regulations related to "corruption" of minors for sharing anything inappropriate with them.
