Fuck meta and all but "they seeded porn to minors" is ridiculous. No one ever inputs their real age on those sites.

Does this apply to seeding R rated violent movies too? Or video games rated M?

    True. It should have been framed in a way that highlights the hypocrisy of large media companies engaging in behavior for which normal pirates have been sentenced to ridiculous fines and even jail time.

    The porn site operator explained to the court that BitTorrent's protocol establishes a "tit-for-tat" mechanism that "rewards users who distribute the most desired content." It alleged that Meta took advantage of this system by "often" pirating adult videos that are "often within the most infringed files on BitTorrent websites" on "the very same day the motion pictures are released."

    Is there anything in the BitTorrent protocal that works like this? I've always understood seeding to be without any incentive other than helping the community.

    It sounds like they are describing download/upload ratios on private trackers. Does that mean Meta was in private trackers and so was this porn company watching the traffic on their pirated videos? Either way, that wouldn't be something "in the BitTorrent protocal."

    They should face consequences for distributing porn specifically. It's really disturbing seeing any kind of support given to such actions made by such monsters. Anything to solidify the sex trade and groom its next participants and apologists, amiright?
