Listen bro, I'm not pirating anything.

But I'm real friendly with a server in a Singaporean datacenter that is

No lose sitch. Either they stole it , or torrenting is legal. Court has to rule one way or another.

They are trying to slip the distribution charge, but they can’t because they fed it to their AI

We all knew zuck was a bitch, but he just admitted to having an awful ratio. Pathetic.

signature look of superiority

Well in that case. I'd like to request a free meta quest. I won't give it to anyone else... I may dismantle it and redistribute the parts for profit though.

They're actually correct. They're assholes, but they are correct. Piracy isn't illegal, distribution is.

that's even worse!

After so many years of corporations fighting The Pirate Bay, you'd think the courts are well versed in the laws regarding torrenting by now.

Its the same argument that the Canadian supreme court briefly legalized downloading 20 years ago.
