I have never supported copyright infringment, i however don't support taking away fair use, or procecuting people who are intermediaries for a technology that can be both used for a legitimate fair use purpose and an infringing one as well (like the vcr, and bit torrent)
like i have said for the last 2 years
leave the seeders alone
leave the tracker alone
leave the leachers who have a fair use right to the content alone
go after the leachers who don't have a fair use right to the content.

sooo... just how would you propose that the 'law' do exactly that?
it still comes down to, the owner of the website should be responsible and TURN IN ALL the people who upload/post illegal content - and NOT make their sites so that the "leecher(s) who don't have a fair use right to the content" also don't have ACCESS to that content or have upload rights.
regardless of our spirited debates over time - I agree with some of what you have to say - but until you come up with some way of stopping it from being the 'perfect crime' I shall continue to ask you .... what the hell is to be done when almost everyone is "innocent" - and the guilty can't be touched because they are protected by 'privacy'
someone has to be guilty - and there has to be enforcable methodologies for detection and prosecution.
so lay out a couple ideas on how you think that that could be accomplished.
