All it takes is one legal copy to be delivered to the rest of the users... then those seeders become illegal copies.

I am not a hacker either, but there are plenty of capable individuals out there that can take trial versions and make them fully functional. Not legal copies there.. but they share those as well.

Your assumption is that all users are legitimate.. my assumption is that a miniscule percentage is and the rest are not.

Your fair use protections are being abused??? How you can fight to protect those rights blindly while others are getting pummeled on the other side is beyond me. I bet you went to Stanford or Berkely and sat in class talking about individual protections all day while smoking weed with the rest of the tree huggers.

We ask people to prove that they can drive, we ask people to prove that they are citizens, we ask people to prove that they can legally drink and smoke, we ask people to wait to buy guns so that we can know they aren't fellons or have warrants for their arrest.. yet it is beyond reason to believe that I should ask someone to prove that they have a legal right to view the product I have created??? That's infringing on your right to get something immediately? I am not telling the legitimate users NO. I am telling the thieves HELL NO and I am telling the pushers that they should be destroyed.
