I really suggest people read up on Fair Use and what it really means. GG may be going to far with it (i don't think a US court would agree that torrents qualify as a method to back up data), but the Fair Use exceptions do lay out scenerios where someone can use your content in various ways, some you'd probably rather they didn't. This is in fact part of the bargain you make when you copyright your works. This applied to the US, of course other countries will differ. Canada in particular has vastly different rules, partially because content producers get revenue from a piracy tax levied on recordable media and other devices.
