Anna’s Archive: Mirror our database, help us preserve Humanity’s knowledge
Facebook: I’ll just torrent what I need, see yaa
These big tech monopolies are a curse to humanity…
Damn leeches
But did they keep a good ratio though?
1000% guarantee those mf’s had their upload choked to 20kbps
Nah they used a leeching client. No upload at all.
Gotta have some upload just for the protocol traffic tho.
I would assume that the requests sent from the torrent client to download data are not factored into the Upload amount for the torrent. When they mean no upload, it would be that none of the data in the files they downloaded were shared with anyone else, making them a piece of shit leecher.
In copyright protection terms the ratio shouldn’t matter. They should pay for all the lost profits from pirating everything they’ve downloaded. Every time someone pirated it should be counted. And every time someone uses the AI trained on the data.
They can become the corporate Jesus of the interwebs, having paid for our sins.
Asking the real questions.
Do it, Judge. Protect the wealthy and say it’s not piracy. Do it.
It’s not piracy. For corporations. For you and me believe it or not, straight to jail!
Just make an llc, now its legal again.
I’d almost like to think an LLC would be enough, but I suspect that only works if you also have a billion in VC funding and political connections.
Please! Think of the shareholders, we must protect them!
“Meta downloaded millions of pirated books from LibGen through the bit torrent protocol using a platform called LibTorrent. Internally, Meta acknowledged that using this protocol was legally problematic,” the third amended complaint noted.
Just want to make clear that Libtorrent is just the torrent application they were using, while the Libgen torrents are easily accessible on the libgen site, not through a separate “platform” called Libtorrent.
I wish people like us could help with these complaints, because then they might actually get the details more accurate to reality.

The amended complaint makes it sound like Libtorrent is a private tracker website when its just the application they were using on the publicly available torrents.
People are putting an S on the end of words like ‘traffic’ and ‘email’. They will never understand the semantics of that correction.
Meta Horizons
Totes yeet, yo.
Given the extent it should be considered criminal so $250k per offense and the higher ups who authorized the torrenting should get conspiracy charges at a minimum.
But this is America so they’ll probably pay a small amount, for Meta, and a light slap on the wrist with a finger wagging.
you are being optimistic, it’s likely going to be considered “fair use” and then be business as usual. Meta themselves have claimed that they aren’t filing to dismiss because they believe they are on the legal side, due to the fact they aren’t distributing the pirated content, only using it for training which is currently a massive grey area that hasen’t been ruled as non-fair use
$250k per offence is literally nothing to meta.
Each time someone uses their LLM it should be considered a violation.
People are using these things millions of times a day in aggregate. That adds up fast. $250k multiplied by millions suddenly isn’t so cheap.
