Invalid grammar in the headline. "It" is Google not the lawsuit as regular grammar rules would dictate.

Wouldn't it then still be weird, so "the lawsuit benefits from piracy"?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Yes. Although that is valid and could be an actual thing. I don't know but I think US law "entitles" copyright holders to the value of pirated things and then some. Which technically profits from piracy.

For me this falls in the category of "sit back and eat popcorn". Both sides are arseholes I don't mind which loses, in fact it's a shame they all can't lose

I mean, I get that Google sucks and should be taken down a few pegs, but this is just dumb.
