if you give people lifetime access to download all the content they have ever paid for forever for free for example, then using the torrents as a backup is no longer legitimate, since your backup rights are being provided completely, without any charging of monopoly prices.

so hypothetically you have a content producer that supplies access for lifelong backups to anyone who has purchased the content. Then what? What about movies that are in theaters? Do you think if you buy a ticket to see a movie in the theater it then you now have the right to go home and download the movie? What if you can't make it to the theater. You have argued that there should be access shifting. How far should that go. What could be the legit excuses. Maybe if you were handicapped and physically were unable to make it to the theater then you are allowed to download it. What if the nearest theater was 30 miles away? Is that far enough to allow for access shifting to take place? What if you have a kid and can't find a babysitter?
I'm just looking for an idea here. If it were up to you what fair use rights would you make content producers grant? You lay down the rules and they have to follow them. What rules would you put in place?
