both make "copies" but thats the only similarity in torrents and vcrs - they work totally different on all levels. with vcr you cannot record a show you don't have on your tv/cable, with torrents not only you can do that, but also feed many other leechers at ease.
To me it is like comparing an apple to a truckload of apples. The first guy gets to sell the one apple he has. The second guy will sell 10 apples, but he has to give away the rest of the truckload to do so.

It seems like as technology continues to evolve we adapt business to be more giving then selling. You have to be willing to give more and more away to make sales. When do we hit the wall? When do you suddenly realize you have given away too much?
