If I pay for a concert ticket but don't use it can I timeshift my listening/viewing rights to a later show?
If I buy a movie theatre ticket but don't go can I timeshift my viewing rights to a later theatre showing?
If I rent a car for a month but don't pick it up do I get to have a free 'timeshifted' car for a month of my choosing next year?

again only if your a moron doesn't understand the difference between defrauding someone out of potential income and stealing the an actual resource slot
you are using examples where the inventory is reduced, and therefore can't be sold to someone else
you signup for hosting the host has to allocate bandwidth and hard drive space to you even if you don't use it
same with phone number with a cell phone
same with the seat at a theater
same with the rented car.
in every example if that inventory was sold to someone else during that time period you paid for you would dam well be entitled to your money back or a later use.

posting content in a publically accessable place is not timeshifting - its theft/fraud for profit.
publically posting complete unaltered works owned by someone else is not 'salvage / timeshifting / fair use' - not now - not ever. It is in no way condoned by any fair use provisions. All legal provisions allow for PRIVATE use/backup/storage/timeshifting. In no way does it allow for PUBLIC access/sharing. Clouds/torrents/fileshare technologies are not private.
and thats pretty much where giddyboy fails - PUBLIC vs. PRIVATE.
and he/she/it will fail on that point forever

bullshit if public anything automatically made it an infringement that cable vision would have lost
public transmission is the only thing that results in an automatic infringement status.
public distribution for private viewing (which is the way torrents, RPVR etc work) is legal.
The bit stream may be public but the viewing is not.
