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

I don't think you are correct here.
http://thepiratebay.org/top/all this is the top 100 downloaded torrents on the pirate bay (which is the largest torrent site out there) According to them the top 10 most downloaded things are 8 movies and 2 pc games. There are only about 12 TV shows in the top 100. Nearly the entire rest of the list is movies. Included in the top 20 are at least 4 movies that are still just in theaters and not on DVD yet. Maybe things are different in other countries, but when you buy a movie ticket here it entitles you to go in and watch the movie, it doesn't mean you get to then go home and download it.
What I am getting at is that I think movies and music make up a much larger number of downloads than do TV shows. Maybe you can show me something that proves otherwise.
