The judge found that Meta’s attempt to blame the pirating of thousands of Vixen.com and Tushy.com porn videos on rogue employees “strains credulity.”

    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.

        I think it’s due to an incorrect reading of this sentence

        “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.”

        There’s two interpretations of this sentence, that they was a total of 6008 downloads of 2396 videos, so some videos were downloaded multiple times.

        The math in that comment is reading it to mean the 2396 items were downloaded 6008 each.

        Since the original uses the clarifier “a total of 6,008” the first interpretation is the likely correct one and the commenter accidentally interpreted it the second, incorrect, way.

        Easy enough mistake to make if you skip over the phrase “a total of”
