True. It should have been framed in a way that highlights the hypocrisy of large media companies engaging in behavior for which normal pirates have been sentenced to ridiculous fines and even jail time.
Lawsuits will typically throw a lot at the wall even if some of it won’t stick. With things like Texas’ age verification law, KOSA, and the general moral panic bubbling up in the west (see the UK’s recent laws too), it’s in their interest to put it in the suit. I doubt it’ll go very far in the northern district of CA, but they need to include it in the initial suit so that if it goes up to the theocrats in SCOTUS, it can still be argued.
