so the leaching passes the fair use test already
backup is also another fair use right (which allows you to make a complete copy)
and the fact that timeshifting has been extended to the cloud (a swarm is a distributed cloud) means other fair use rights can also be extended. Once back up is put there too, seeding content you bought would also be legally protected. The fact that seeders never give away a working copy of the file (how torrents work) is going to go a long way to making the arguement that seeding is not really a distribution of copyrighted material.

It obvious that you're going a long way attempting to squeeze this into whatever grey areas you can.
And that space your squeezing into is going to get smaller and smaller.
Your whole argument is based on the technicality of seeding torrents not acting as a direct disturbution of the entire file. Pathetic.
I don't give a fuck about who owns a televison and what fraction of a percent of torrent users may actually may use torrents as some ridiculous form of time-shifting.
How about the vast majority of the motherfuckers using them to commit blatant acts of piracy?
