Copyright, it's not about law, it's about the whole world not wanting to pay
for something that they can so easily steal. It is so easy to steal that it's hard
for people, including lawyers and judges to call it what it is. Theft.
no it because idiots claim it a theft that you don't understand why the ruling happened.

for example there is no exclusive right for fair use

so for example if i were to download a tv show that aired on a tv station i paid for (used the torrents like a vcr)
just because i connected person who never subscribed to the station to get a piece doesn't invalidate my fair use of timeshifting (the legal right to download)
