Meta argues that it's fair use, and that they just downloaded, and never seeded, all the torrents.

They have so much bandwidth and never seeded anything? Damn leechers! That is not fair use of torrents at all!

The article is purposely conflating the downloading from the seeding statistics. Saying "just 0.008%" the size resulted in big punishments is confusing when Meta is also saying they set their client to be leechers.

Seeding and downloading are in the same protocol. You can't do one without the other
