    “Meta downloaded millions of pirated books from LibGen through the bit torrent protocol using a platform called LibTorrent. Internally, Meta acknowledged that using this protocol was legally problematic,” the third amended complaint noted.

    Just want to make clear that Libtorrent is just the torrent application they were using, while the Libgen torrents are easily accessible on the libgen site, not through a separate “platform” called Libtorrent.

    I wish people like us could help with these complaints, because then they might actually get the details more accurate to reality.

    The amended complaint makes it sound like Libtorrent is a private tracker website when its just the application they were using on the publicly available torrents.
