His defense here is that since he was super seeding, and the torrent files downloaded weren't 100% his but pieces of his files. If they are going to his site to download a torrent and part of the files are coming form him and he is making money from advertising hes still technically profiting from stolen content isn't he? It is a tv show, so I am assuming no one purchased them. Idk, just my way of understanding it.
I don't have a personal grudge against gg, sometimes I see his posts but honestly I hit a few walls of text and move on to something sillier. I had to mention this though because of what you said. Even if he can slide by using these methods, that post shows that he had a site at one point where he was giving out links to torrents and providing partial files in an a successful attempt to make money off it via advertising right? If you read into what he says, its obvious hes taunting everyone on the fact he cant get sued for the illegal torrent because the download doesn't come 100% from him but he's admitting to being a part of it.
