The pirate sites? There is no pirate site hosting files here, BitTorrent is peer to peer.

If it’s fine for a large corp. like Meta to pirate books then it’s fine for everyone else. If it’s a crime for ordinary consumers then it’s a crime for Meta too.

Especially as Meta aren’t doing this for charity. They train LLMs for their own gain.

Or "shadow library" or whatever you want to call it. The argument according to the article is that the entity that created the torrent, which also as far as i understand also operates a traditional website, benefits from meta's actions.

I think that is really far fetched.

The argument is that distribution is the infringement. This is basically the only thing torrenters get charged with.

That does not seem to be the argument that was presented in the article.
