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
my argument is simple. invent licence validation mechanism and timeshift all you want what you really paid for with others who really paid for it.
publicly available downloads only explode piracy and have nothing to do with fair use, until there are mechanism in place to validate your purchase of some content license. period.
