The Viral LIE the Internet Fell For: Meta's BitTorrent Fair Use Claim
https://youtu.be/pyF3xJwHsUk
The anti-AI crowd is claiming that Meta is saying that pirating files through BitTorrent is suddenly fair use. But when you actually read the court filings, that’s not what Meta said at all.
Shocking, I know.
The controversy started when plaintiffs told the court that Meta was arguing uploading pirated works through BitTorrent is fair use. That claim quickly spread across social media and tech news. But the real filing discusses something much narrower: the incidental possibility of seeding during torrent downloads used to obtain datasets for AI research.
But in reality, the case is not about uploading; it's about the torrent merely being theoretically "made available," with no evidence whatsoever that any copies were actually uploaded to anyone.
Plaintiffs even acknowledged that Meta made the fair use claim back in December!
If you want the real story behind the Meta BitTorrent seeding fair use controversy—and why so many headlines got it wrong—then once again, I'm the only channel on YouTube going straight to the source documents.
