BBC sent a cease and desist to Perplexity today asking them to delete all past content and not scrape future. So appears there has been a delay as copyright holders get to grips with it.

This article is about someone running a tracker site, not just downloading.

Regardless of what you think of the ethics of pirating, they are completely different things.

Meta never ran a tracker. It's like the difference between being a drug user vs. a drug dealer. (And I'm not taking a stance on drugs either.)

There's just no comparison with Meta here.

A drug user that distributes drugs is also a drug dealer.

and one could argue that what Meta does is way worse, given that they seek to extremely monetize and exploit the intellectual property of others.

Surely they could have made an example of a more recent pirate rather than go after this one.

It’s madness for any of these pirates to be based in a western country, as no matter how good you think you are at concealing yourself, the amount of money being lost means companies will spend a lot to track you down hiring top level experts. Assisted by the USA and EU state level departments.

I don't know if this [1] article is only talking about taxes or if the statute of limitations also applies in this case but it may be worth looking into. Anyone here from Greece?
