To download a torrent, you need to go to a website packed full of ads.
When will the "fans" of torrents wake up and realize they are just being used as tools by the torrent sites to make ass loads of money and laugh all the way to the bank, which idiots sit in their mommy's basement ripping the DVDs they just rented from blockbuster?
A large loyal workforce does all the work for free and a few fuckheads in sweden are laughing it up with "champagne wishes and caviar dreams".

can you point out where i have ever made that arguement, i object to misrepresenting an infringment as fair use as much as i object to misrepresenting copyright law to exclude fair use. The act of trading content you never purchased a right to0 is and should always be an infringment, people who do so deserve every dollar of fines they get (even 20K+ per song)
but the fair use rights to back up the content and to recover content that you have PURCHASED a right to view should also be protected.
