Just because some people don't want to spend 100k defending themselves against a missapplied legal precedent doesn't mean they know what they are doing is illegal, it just quite simply that they don't want to incur the expense of fighting for their rights. They will let the pirate bay fight the fight, and then relaunch after it is 100% legal.

a vcr didn't connect you instantly to a library of anything and everything every produced and allow you to instantly reproduce it in perfect quality. vcr's didn't allow very effective sharing or reproduction of anything.
you can keep arguing all you want... you're in serious denial... like anyone else thats staunchly defending theft, your issues are with authority, not purported "rights" and you are arguing what any reasonable person understands to be a losing argument. you can't compare any point in history or any technology with the scale of theft that's possible and happening now with torrents. the legal system is catching up and people will start going to jail. everyone wanted to yell "fuck you" from the mountain top at those who actually produce entertainment and software and now these industries are screaming "fuck you" back with the governments on their side.
but you're entertaining for sure... so please don't stop.
so please... break this all down, sentence by sentence, point by point as you do... so i can ignore it.
