So, this is a torrent that was forced by court to implement fingerprinting into their site, to which they did, but initially refused to scan their back catalogue. Hence they were forced to remove all illegal content, which they did. As a consequence they traffic dropped instantly, because that traffic was after illegal content.

How were they fucked over again?

had they told them to use the appropriate equivalent they would have been entitled to safe harbor protection (like you tube... etc). The content would not have been illegal until after the take down had been filed.

which means the court would not have been able to force them to do shit.

oh and btw mininova didn't just take away "illegal" content but also took away fair use authorized and independent artist authorized stuff as well.
