the only noun that you could reference in that case is copyright holder (both because of the singular nature and because you are talking the copyright holders side in this arguement)
so when i said
everyone who is not a world class moron understood that to mean
sorry your to stupid to know how pronouns are associated to respective nouns

Okay, let's go back to your original post and break it down. Talk to me like I am undereducated and show off your skills here because, honestly, I can't understand what you are saying. So I will go through it sentence by sentence for you.
First sentence you wrote: "why is it so hard for you to understand that simply eliminating your "right" to stop me if i choose to do something does not represent me being entitled to do something."
I think you are saying that taking away my right to stop you from doing something does not then entitle you to do it. Correct?
Second sentence: "just because i can do something legally doesn't entitle me to benefit if it is not provided."
Makes no sense. If what is not provided?
Third sentence: "And there is nothing to stop as the copyright holder from fullfilling that need and collecting the revenue that the pirates are currently getting."
While this sentence is a mess, it appears you are saying that the copyright holders could provide the same service that the pirating sites are and gain the revenue from it themselves. If this is true, you are technically correct. The difference is that copyright holders might want you to prove that you have purchased the content before they allow you do download your backup copy from them.
Last sentence: "all we are talking about is eliminating the "Right" to stop people from doing it IF you choose not to."
This, again, makes no sense. You want to eliminate the right to stop people from doing what if you choose not to? Does this not fall under the category of piss poor educational systems you just bashed me for? You said yourself:
the pronoun for "people" is they not you moron yet now you are using YOU where it appears you should be using THEY.
But grammar aside. All of this is bunch of Gideon mumbo jumbo. Just answer my basic question. I was in high school in the 1980's. During that time I purchased dozens of music cassettes. Over the years they have all been lost, destroyed, worn out etc. Can I now just download the digital version of the album since I have already owned it?
