    Where are they getting $1.5 billion from? Is this business actually profitable?

      Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.

        At least I can enjoy stupid corporate leaders lapping up the dogfood they’re told to eat, except for the pain workers and real people suffer as a result of this yheft, trash and grift.

          If I could pirate a bunch of content then pay back only 10% of the value while pocketing the rest I’d be thrilled

    Glad to see they have to pay up but what was different about this compared to the similar case that Meta won the other day?

      Meta has more money and is apparently immune from consequences?

        No if you pay the president enough he will let you commit crimes against humanity.

          I mean that’s essentially the same thing I said just with more words.

          Meta has money. Which makes them immune to consequences.

          In this case, by way of bribes.

      It’s not really a good thing though. $1.5bil will be a drop in the bucket for them. This is a settlement, which means it won’t set any legal precedence.
