Meta Claims BitTorrent Piracy is Fair Use in Audacious Copyright Gambit

Meta's reasoning is straightforward. Anyone who uses BitTorrent to transfer files automatically uploads content to other people, as it is inherent to the protocol. In other words, the uploading wasn't a choice, it was simply how the technology works. Meta also argued that the BitTorrent sharing was a necessity to get the valuable (but pirated) data. In the case of Anna's Archive, Meta said, the datasets were only available in bulk through torrent downloads, making BitTorrent the only practical option. "Meta used BitTorrent because it was a more efficient and reliable means of obtaining the datasets, and in the case of Anna's Archive, those datasets were only available in bulk through torrent downloads," Meta's attorney writes.

Most of the world respects #international_law and #ICJruling on civil matters.
#FairUse doctrine continues to apply to all copyright & trademark outside #USrael.
But as our names, images & data about us are deployed as weapons against us, we owe no compliance or deference or fees to the thieves.
Shaykhoun v. The Daily Mail (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 26, 2026). Using tweet in news reporting [= transformative. Plaintiff’s publishing of tweet = fair use on 2nd factor. Use of whole tweet = fair use under 3rd factor, and putting tweet in news article did not usurp market for original. #copyright #fairuse

Strong fair use protections help keep technology innovative and affordable. Without them, consumers would face higher costs, fewer choices, and slower progress in areas like software, cloud services, and AI. Explore CCIA’s latest research on #FairUse in the U.S. economy: ccianet.org/library/fair...
Remember #fairuse? And if I don't remove it myself, they will #delete it for me and then apply a #copyrightstrike on my channel. This isn't #copyright this is #copywrong. There is zero good reason to push me to delete it. First, it's not monetized. Secondly, it wasn't even a publicly available video

You don’t have to love AI to love #FairUse. It’s not a loophole in the law that wrongdoers “hide behind,” it’s a fundamental free speech right that keeps the censorious powers of copyright in check for the public interest.
