Uploading torrents qualifies as fair use? Excited to see where this goes. Lol
They don’t mean it’s fair for you. It’s fair for corporations which need the same rights and privileges as people but obviously can’t be held to account like people because shareholders might make less money.
Worth remembering that any group could make a company. They are work, but not particularly class locked.
An Uber driver is also a corporation.
Technically even with an llc you could still be considered an individual. Don’t put it past them to utilize this for a good fucking over small business.
Fair use to train LLMs with. These judges are really some shitty fucking people.
