Oh thanks, I have been looking for this. Someone referenced this argument but I could not retrieve the exact source.
I expected they would say that “downloading only” is fair use. But they also argued uploading? These girls have gone wild.

I think that the judge said that the decision does not mean that Meta acted lawfully, but that the authors did not present convincing arguments, and wishes that other plaintiffs will come up with better arguments to set a legal precedent against Meta, who stands to make trillions out of it, and thus can compensate the creators.
Conclusions: Legal torrenting is not in sight because of this. And we watch capitalist accumulation in real time.
