even IF your claim such as

you're making it sound like piracy is no big deal.. hell with those traffic comparisons it is making huge dent on many industries with illegal downloads, which you're totally dismissing.
so your trying to argue that the entire technology should be taken way from everyone since some people could use it illegitimately

vcr can be used to bootleg movies should we eliminate the right of timeshifting now

the answer is the same for that case

leave the tracker alone
leave the seeder alone
leave the leacher with a fair use right alone
go after the leacher without the fair use right
