Seems to me that the thieves are trying to do all the redefining.

how about trying reverse the timeshifting ruling that allows me to get a commercial free timeshifted version from the swarm

or arguing that timeshifting never allowed distribution (to justify disallowing using torrents as a vcr)
even though mpaa failed to get tape locking (preventing a recording from playing in any vcr that didn't record the content)
a failure which clearly proves that distribution (lending a copy of the show to someone else who missed it) was covered by the original right.
and don't get me started on commentary, backup, recover.
