absolutely nothing happens until you use a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROGRAM to process the data in the text file.

If I renamed the limewire files to .blah then you got .blah, if I broke it apart into my own format and split it up among limewire users, I'm still distro of copyrighted material. I can make it so the files aren't usable until more software is applied as well, like pw protection, encryption, etc...
Any fool can see all they're doing is calling it different words so they can work around micro loop holes in the law.

Borrowing implies returning... No pirate has ever returned anything to the "owner."

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.

Yes it has.
We aren't talking about hacks, which is a criminal activity normally doing criminal things.
It would have to be fair use to be denied fair use.
And p2p, limewire and the mix of many others have already proven the technology CAN infringe , so yes their has been a case with previous established technologies.
