Why do I get sued when I share some BitTorrents but $bigcorp can just do it with 1000 scale without problems?

The issue here is not copyright/patents/etc - the issue is that the law is applied selectively — the issue is that Aaron Schwartz is dead for sharing knowledge with the public and Zuccborg is a billionaire building his torment nexus




I mean this news broke today. It may be premature to declare that nobody will sue Meta. In fact I would cheerfully bet that someone will, and that they will spend more in defense/settlement than any 1000 individuals would.
