Note:
The whole "piracy is killing the industry" argument has always been a bit of a contradiction. Piracy has actually helped boost exposure for many products, from software to movies and games. Many indie developers and even some larger studios have admitted that piracy has sometimes led to increased legitimate sales because it works like free marketing.
As for Meta torrenting 80TB via their own Network — that's wild. Big companies have been caught pirating before, whether for research, training AI models, or just convenience. Hell, Microsoft employees have been caught pirating movies, and universities have been found using cracked software.
It’s a classic case of “Do as I say, not as I do.” When regular users torrent something, it’s "theft" and "hurting the industry", but when a massive corporation does it, it’s "data acquisition" or "internal testing."
