Maybe YOU just get copies of stuff you already own off torrent, but if you are trying to suggest the OVERWHELMINGLY VAST MAJORITY of torrents user aren't plain old cheap ass thieves then you are fucked in the head.

i never said "overwhelming vast majority" i said a majority.
50% +1 is a majority
a very small majority but it is still a majority.
given the fact that 50% of all torrent traffic is for tv shows (which 99.5% of the population bought a right too)
and there are multiple countries have piracy taxes which legitimize other torrent downloads (music and movies )
The number of people using torrents non infringing purpose is a majority.
because quite simply 50% + x (authorized by piracy tax) is greater than 50% which is a majority.

A) Are only getting copy of something they bought.
Well make the copy form the media you bought them why use a torrent?

because i bought it without getting the original (see piracy tax)

B) Use torents to only download Linux distros.
How many fucking copies of Linux do you fucking need?

since i never included open source distributed content in my 50%+x numbers i don't know how you can attribute this to me
but the fact that it is 50% +x (piracy tax) +y (open source/open licienced) still makes it a majority.

At any rate if you are seeding a torrent then aren't you basically giving access to your computer to any old asshole out there? REAL fucking smart. Like some nerd can't hack utorrent program or something and make it where they can infiltrate your system and take more than just a copy of Knight Rider. Seeding a torrent is about as smart as letting your girlfriend fuck dozens of random guys without condoms then you fuck her bareback afterwards.

well that why i have a dedicated torrent recorder setup in my house, it runs 24 /7 downloading the torrents in the rss feed i subscribe too.
Never miss my favorite shows, acts like a vcr and since the entire thing runs on linux it runs blistering fast on pentium 4 chip.
