“I was just lying for Internet points.”

“I wanted them to think I was one of them so that they would admit their piracy to me and I could turn them in.”

“Yes, I admit it, I pirated (name of public domain movie)!”

Or just don’t take the stand and let your lawyer figure it out. Unless they have another file filled with evidence that an IP you owned was used for piracy and they were just looking for some kind of evidence it was you using it, I don’t think they have much of a case.

Edit: apparently Lemmy removes rather than escapes angled brackets, so replaced them with regular brackets.
