but it not the same thing, taking the item out of the store prevents the sale to someone who has never bought it.

Making a copy that of something i already bought does not do that.

HUGE DIFFERENCE

that the point i should not be force to buy another copy as long as i don't cross that line of preventing the sale from someone who has never bought it.

and before you say but by participating in the swarm i allow someone to get it without paying for it.

I fully believe THAT PERSON is commiting a crime, but that crime is committed at the instance when he puts together all the non working copies into a single working copy. Not one second before.

If you want to go after that person go ahead(if you can figuire out who that person is on a public tracker). If you want to deny that person access to your private tracker, go ahead.

If you provide me access to the private tracker when i buy your content so my fair use rights are protected, prevent every public tracker from listing your files. That 100% ok too.
