you still don't get it it what you can do with the software by itself that important
if you were to use limewire you would get content
if you were to use isohunt all you get is a text file (with the torrent extension)
absolutely nothing happens until you use a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROGRAM to process the data in the text file.

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 that the standard every single router on the internet is guilty of facilitating copyright infringement

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.

try again, if what you were saying were true then vcr would have a system lock that prevented you from playing the tape cassettes in anything but the machine that recorded.
Saying to your neighbour can i borrow your copy of knight rider the power went out on my vcr is LEGAL.
the swarm is network effect version of that action, it superior because of the NETWORK EFFECT. Each seeder becomes a FREE redundant backup for everyone else.

It's fair use the minute you own it and nobody else can access it that doesn't legally own it.

that has never been the case even with previously established technologies
if my company has an SMS it not illegal just because someone could "hack" the network and get the copy of office of the install point.
Even if the "hack" was because someone left their password insecured.
You can't deny people there fair use right just because someone can use the technology too infringe. Fact is the betamax case proves it, if you were required to make sure the technology could not infringe at all before the fair use could be granted the vcr would have been outlawed.
