THEY DID NOT.

IF power went out in my house and my vcr did not tape my favorite show, i had a right to get a copy fo that show from a friend.

When i upload to the swarm that is exactly the right i am using because as i have said before everyone who is illegally participating will get sued or cut off.




exactly my point
i paid for a certain level of rights, if i did not have those rights the ruling in the betamax case would not have been as such.
DRM, movie theaters, restricted use access are all legitimate, the BETAMAX case respects the right



The key to why this was the desenting position instead of the majority is that the technology in question must be implemented for the copyright holder to claim that they are so limiting rights. The end user must agree to that limitation of right to gain access to the content.




sure it is that why the RIAA tried to prove that she aquired the songs from the P2P network



you may want to make that arguement all you want but the problem is that your artificial expansion of copyright law would create a situation where the .torrent file would be entitled to the same protection as your copyright material.
