gideon, you have a very hard head. Why go after individual seeders? Without the network of torrent sites and trackers, they would be seeding to NOBODY. The copyright violation doesn't occur when someone encodes a file for torrent distribution, it happens when it gets seeded onto a torrent network.
Remove the trackers, stop the network from accepting new seeded file, and suddenly there is no more violation possible.
Do torrents have legitimate uses? Very few if any, and what few valid uses they might have are lost because the system requires extensive bandwidth leeching from ISPs to make it go.
You keep repeating over and over, fair use this, betamax that, but in all cases, we have shown that those arguments either don't apply or are total horseshit. Can you at least address the points? Fair use is bullshit and VERY narrow in scope, and certainly doesn't apply to torrent sites, otherwise there would be all sorts of torrent sites in the US. The betamax decision is the same. Doesn't apply here, otherwise it would have been argued and there would be a ton of torrent sites in the US. There are not, so your argument is weak.
Maybe you need to cruis back to the torrent chat boards for a while and get some new ammo, this stuff is very worn out.
