So there’s this post I saw, and the headline says Meta is now arguing uploading pirated books would be considered fair use.
Is it possible to use someone’s use of an argument against them in the future? So for example say in the future, in a different case, Meta argues that someone harmed them in some way by uploading pirated books. Can the other party retort with something akin to “ah but that’s not what you said about pirated books three years ago, you only complain if it’s unfavorable to you”?
Also I noticed this would be the third post in a row about legal questions. I feel like I’m unintentionally contributing to a pattern/trend here, apologies
Why is this a question to the world? The answer must be very different from each one who answers.
That’s the beauty of these places. I’ll see what crops up in the replies. So far it seems pretty consistent with “yes it’s possible”, but I’m also interested to read about any “no you can’t where I live”
