do copyrights fall under the law yes or no ?
as far as the legal stuff i think your just trying to convince yourself of something everyone already knows.
People get held legally responsible for violating copyright laws , both in canada and the usa , so i'm not sure exactly what you're trying to argue ..
Can torrent sites and such find legal loopholes to argue what they are doing is right ? probably..
Can the government ignore the loopholes and screw you some way ? most certainly  |
both fair use and infringment is covered by law (they are defined by an act of law so that is common sense) but i think he is talking in the context of "theft of property" where the possession in the act of distributing is in and of itself enough to justify a conviction (traffiking in stolen goods). I think you are overly simplifying to discredit the entire point he is making because your arguing with someone who is not making the context clear.
your both right it just depends on the context.
