you can't be that stupid this must be a deliberate bogus claim
don't you understand that is the exact point
before they went forward with this dog of a case there was no precedent explictly stating that giving away your competitors content for free was NOT unfair business practise
now there is
so if you were to fight based on the private tracker, fully providing fair use right that i gave you know have to prove that this ruling was only true in the case where safe harbor/fair use applied.
That cost money, tripling the cost of a trial. there are cases that backup that arguement, but until a judge explictly takes those cases into account and makes a ruling that is only a legal opinion and teen revenue gave them one more precedent to hide behind.
I don't understand why you don't see how patently stupid/bad that is.
