Given the extent it should be considered criminal so $250k per offense and the higher ups who authorized the torrenting should get conspiracy charges at a minimum.

But this is America so they'll probably pay a small amount, for Meta, and a light slap on the wrist with a finger wagging.

$250k per offence is literally nothing to meta.

$250k * [every book in existence] is literally nothing?

Remember, "offense" doesn't mean "per torrent," it means "per copyrighted work infringed."

Each time someone uses their LLM it should be considered a violation.

People are using these things millions of times a day in aggregate. That adds up fast. $250k multiplied by millions suddenly isn't so cheap.
