I want to shoot Zuckerberg in the metaverse where he can’t run away because he ain’t got legs. Because he is not a biped.

even if Meta limited seeding when the downloads were completed, as the company claims it does

That's the real crime! Not even reaching for the 1 ratio!

If, like me, you just wanted to know what the Bob Dylan defence, is:

"Meta's response in this case seems to be that a powerful technology corporation should not be held to the same standard as everyone else for illegal conduct."

The authors mocked Meta for raising what they call "the Bob Dylan defense" of its torrenting, citing song lyrics from "Sweetheart Like You" that say, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you king."

To cover its tracks, the social media company allegedly deviated from usual practices and attempted to conceal the torrenting by using Amazon Web Services.

The audacity lmao
