Entertainment industry legal shit is beyond stupid. I’ve heard of one person’s pirated music and movie collection that exceeded the GDP of most first world countries, going by the numbers the industry gets awarded in civil suits. They literally just tell the courts how much money they’d like and it gets rubber stamped.
If you have money and an army of good attorneys, you usually get what you want.
