Could the selection be intentional? A silly unenforceable case to open the door for a more comprehensive invasion of privacy on platforms to make discussion and hosting discussion of piracy into a riskier endeavor?
This is what I'm thinking. This is just a case of them seeing how far they can take it. Once precedent is set they can start to litigate based on a user merely mentioning that they pirated a movie.
Could be that they're seeking exhaustion so that can push more of their privacy breaking bullshit in international trade agreements.
Exactly what the trick is. Once the precedent is set, they can exploit the hell out of it.
