so basically should you have a right to waste your time in a pointless excersise that will gain you no income and cost the copyright holder no income
sure why not
you want to be stupid go ahead.
now if the copyright holders were getting paid for that distribution, then it would be a different story.

But I would get paid. What if I could guarantee the people that buy those commercials a certain number of downloads? I might not make a lot of money, but I could make some. So I presell the commercial space and I focus on shows that have a smaller following so I won't be competing against a ton of seeders.
On a torrent site the content producer doesn't get paid, but that doesn't stop the site from making money by linking to their content.
So like is good. Fair use means that if it is floating around in the airwaves I can pretty much do as I please with it and make some money and be untouchable.
Kick ass!
