I’m sure the idea is to take advantage of joint and several liability ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/joint_and_several_liability https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/joint_and_several_liability ). If Pornhub and Visa are declared to be severally liable, the woman will be able to collect the entire judgement from Visa, even if the court says Visa is only 1% liable and Pornhub is 99% liable. Visa will then be able to sue Pornhub to pay its share. In theory, everybody will pay the amount they were supposed to, but the victim will get the money sooner by sending the bill to the party with the deepest pockets. But often, the parties most at fault go out of business, so the party with the deepest pockets pays the whole judgement and the people who actually caused the injury escape punishment.
