I'm going to take a wild guess that they weren't arguing that their customers should be able to record whatever they wanted and then open up what amounts to a video store. Same goes for cable vision.

seeders break the file into thousands of pieces
if you played the content i gave you, all you would have was a non working file.
So i am in fact sharing less when i loaned my friend my tape when he missed his favorite show (because the power went out, forgot to set it etc)
even if you were counting the ratio, most people only share to 1:1 maybe max 3:1 which is no where close to the 1000 you keep talking about.
torrent download are no where close to opening a video store, because
1. you are never giving anyone a complete working copy
2. you are not collecting any revenue from seeding
if anything it closer to buying a dvd and donating it to the library so they can lend it out for free.
