Kevin, it's the reason I won't keep on it with Gideon. Quite simply, he doesn't get it. The copyright laws are there to be read. Unless a court judgement specifically impairs the law, the law is the law. It isn't made up only of court judgements, fundimentally there is a law at the bottom of everything.
The torrent supporters play games by quoting only what is to their benefit, they don't supply context, and they certainly don't refer to the larger law that exists on the subject, both the copyright law of each nation involved but also the agreements through things like the WTO and international copyright agreements.
At the end of the day, torrent sites show clearly that they know they are breaking copyright laws because they try hard to stay away from hosting the content, hide the whois information on their trackers, and hide in the few friendly countries that tolerate their shit. Otherwise they would all be run out of town.
All the lies and horseshit about "legal backups" "betamax" and "timeshifting" is just that, horseshit.
