that is a huge difference.

ISOhunt isn't a torrent, it's software.... it may not be on the pc, but it is the key to providing access to the pirated materials and it still educates on how/what to do to access the pirated material and the means to access it. Another words, they're knowingly doing it, just like limewire.

Or when they provide access to DRM protected material, like theater releases.

torrents are the best/cheapest backup for content that you don't care if it kept confidendial.
under both senerios it fair use.

Accept you are distributing it... bit by bit, just because you take the car apart when you steal it and sell it one part at a time doesn't change the fact that it's still theft.
If the cache/swarm was your own and only yours, sure that would work... but what they're doing is providing a way to access & distribute copyrighted material to others, that do not own the rights to even download it.
It's fair use the minute you own it and nobody else can access it that doesn't legally own it.
