Well since no one is getting a working copy from me (how the technology works) and i own a right to view the content i am getting from the torrents. My actions are clear.

You mean people actually use that as an excuse? Who would of thought! But thats only about one user out of a million or something like that? Correct?
your using it as a straw man agruement so of course people are using it as an excuse. Like every straw man arguement it doesn't invalidate the point i am making, when you paid for a show (either because it on basic cable -- or because you subcribed to the extra stations need) you have a right to timeshift your viewing rights with any technology you want (torrents included).

But I thought everybody downloading TV shows wasn't comitting a crime.. you know being that we almost all own televisons. You said so yourself.
so let see if i get your arguement
1. i am going to create a fake fair use right called "reverse timeshifting"
2. i am going to prove that my fake fair use right is not real (duh)

therefore

legitimate fair use rights like timeshfting are not real either.

the fact that reverse time shifting is not a right does not invalidate the real fair use right of timeshifting.
