Until you do arguing their are other back up alternatives is a sherman anti trust violating abuse of the copyright monopoly, because you are simply trying to use your copyright monopoly to force dominance in another market (backup).

well the penalty for download is good enough here, because quite simply punishing them for the "sharing" again acts as a sherman anti trust violating abuse of the copyright monopoly (see backup arguement above).
but that being said with statutory damages as high as they currently are, it more than enough anyway.
again downloading without paying absolute go after that person hard
sharing (especially in a way that in and of it self is not a copyright violation) simple takes away people rights.
golden rule of the law should always be
your rights end where mine begin.
taking your content without paying for it violates that golden rule because it prevents you from making money on your content.
taking away my right to use torrents as the most cost effective back solution after i have bought your content, takes way my fair use right to choose the most effective backup solution.

I see "backing up" to torrents and p2p networks as sharing. You are backing up your material, but by doing so you are making it available for other people to download. This means people who haven't paid for it now have access to it. By doing that you are aiding them in illegally downloading that content.
