    $150,000 fine per civil infringement X 6,008 instances… $901,200,000.

    Now assume a settlement for half the value and it’s still $450M

    Do it porn industry! On principle.

      Honestly:

      “A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”

      That’s 2396 x 6008 x $150,000=$2.159 Billion

      And honestly, that’s what they need to do. $450M is a cost of business expense.
