the argument is really "do you know how much it'd cost to actually properly monitor the information the use?" It's true but still breaking the law.

- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt's such an odd angle that I can't believe it actually came up in a legal case. Can you imagine a lawyer representing a shoplifter with "but do you know how much an iPhone costs?" But I guess the sad fact of it all is that I'm sure they 100% anticipated lawsuits, and expected that fighting them is still cheaper than trying to license all the content properly. I doubt anyone is surprised by this lawsuit. Just disappointed that they will throw money at anyone other than the actual artists and writers.
