Meta claims torrenting pirated books isn’t illegal without proof of seeding
I’m half meming with the title but at the same time Meta publicly claiming that pirating books isn’t illegal if there’s no proof of seeding seems real ridiculous
Zuck continues to display true idiocy at work:
On the other hand, making new precedent?
Well. That statement isn’t completely wrong. If there is no evidence and can’t be proven
That’s is how things used to work here in the Netherlands, until the EU forced us to change our laws in 2014:
So Facebook has to be sued in the Netherlands for it to succeed 👌 If somebody goes through with it, that would be a great popcorn moment.
Or anywhere in the EU. And I don’t think the USA is more lenient on piracy. But perhaps they are if a big company is the one doing it.
I’m actually cool with this.
