Haha typical Facebook: not only did they torrent terabytes of stuff, they didn’t even contribute back by seeding.
that legal argument doesn’t fly in the u.s…
but if you wanna buy a ruling that says downloading isn’t piracy, go for it.
What’s the precedent and current consensus for caselaw? I remember that Capitol v. Thomas kicked off the notion of “making available” as an infringement of the distribution right, but I haven’t followed everything that came after.

If somebody projects a movie onto a public wall, is it illegal to watch it without paying?
There’s laws for this. IIRC, as long as the person playing the movie owns it and isn’t charging anyone to watch, it’s legal.
Owns it in what sense, though? Owning a copy that he can play in the projector, or owning the intellectual rights to the movie?
