So if I torrented and seeded, I would be doing it for my own entertainment, not commercially. I expect big copy-write holders to come after myself. If Meta does it - I guess they have better lawyers ? Could make interesting case law.

  Since it’s case law, everyone would benefit from the precedent

    There already is precedent with cases like Aaron Swartz.

      No there’s not, he killed himself before there was a decision. That doesn’t create precedent.

    The last time the US Supreme Court decided on copyright law, they basically said "we like what Google is doing with Android, so what they did is fine". So, no, not necessarily.
