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?
Is it that new? For the most part, the only people getting targeted with more than stern letters from their ISPs nowadays are members of cracking/release groups, or hosts of trackers themselves.
Im sorta worried if they do get punished for it, because if anything that'll make the precedent to punish torrenters over the current precedent of targeting original uploaders.
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.
