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.

at no point did i say that all the users were legitimate i am saying that some of users are legitimate.
In this case the same tracker support your porn files and my tv shows. When you hack the tracker you eliminate my ability to get my tv shows legally. I am not stealing from you in any shape or form and you are trying to argue that it is legitimate to punish me.
you can track down the infringing leechers.
if you connect to the torrent with a client like utorrent you get all the ip address of the peers.
Obviously there is a little more leg work to find out which of those people are actually stealing your content. You choose not.

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.

i could use the same arguement with your porn sites, you could ask people to prove that they really the owner of the credit card before you accept it. You don't do it because it your not LEGALLY REQUIRED too. Selling porn to a minor (if done deliberately) is far more sever crime than copyright infringment. If you want to eliminate "mental intent" as a requirement of the crime, then you have to be willing to go to jail for 3-5 years when you choose not to fully verify that the person is actually the age he claims he is.
