funny the fair use grey area keeps getting bigger and bigger
we can now timeshift to a cloud.

Your whole argument is based on the technicality of seeding torrents not acting as a direct disturbution of the entire file. Pathetic.
nope the fact that you are not distributing the file completely means the courts can finally decide if things like access shifting is another fair use (morpheous case refused to do so because each access shifting and an associated copyright infringement)

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?
50% of all bit torrent downloads are tv shows

if even 1% of the movies downloaded are movies that aired on tv then a majority of people are using torrents to timeshift their viewing rights.

ergo the majority is using torrents to timeshift their tv viewing rights.
