what would be interesting to learn is,

"Mega can regurgitate virtually any excerpt from any of my books, there for they have stolen them"

versus what is not interesting such as

"my books are in libgen therefore they stole my work, even though I can't find direct evidence of the theft"

>The most damning thing? It appears that Meta knew exactly what they are doing, and chose to proceed anyway.

that is not the most damning thing. It might trigger worse damages or elevation of the severity of an infraction, but it is not evidence of guilt per se, which is what I would call "damning"
