Thank God that was not how it works or the biggest money making opp for this industry would not have happened.
That being said i have already pointed out 43 times that setting up a private tracker does exactly that it issolates all the innocent on your system and the guilty on the public system. You might not be able to convict them for copyright infringement, but you can sue them for breach of contract. And since you are fully providing for the fair use right to use swarm as a backup/timeshifting/recovery device, there is no fair use to hide behind for that breach.
if you don't want to setup what amounts to a completely free solution (subsidized by advertising just like the public trackers) then you should be looking to monetize the distribution instead of trying to prevent it (like what happened with the vcr).

I think you still don't get it
I agree with the private tracker solution but...
there is a crime happening - there needs to be a way for the cops to charge
someone
telling everyone that the only recourse they have is a 'civil suit' just doesn't cut it. Saying that I have to identify the theives, find a way to contact them, politely ask them to stop (DMCA), do a follow up, start the whole 5 year process of lawyer/court to try and sue some 15 year old in moms basement - they are fuckin stealing a product - cops need a way to enforce. Theres a million websites and theives out there - no one has the bankroll to 'civil suit' them all.
if someone steals my car - I call the cops. But you say that if someone steals my digital product, then its up to me to be the cop.
again I ask - what legal rights do I have to get someones ass busted by the law? (and I'll keep rephrasing this question til you address it)
