i suggest you reread the betamax case
universal made that exact arguement
they argueed that they licienced it for access "on a specific day at a specific time"
the courts ruled that the viewer granted such a licience had a right to move that viewing time to another day and another time and right of timeshifting was born.

So your trying to claim that you should have a right to use the exact same arguement that has already been ruled to be invalid because your a porn site.
