Your defense is going to get laughed out of court and you would be torn to shreds by a prosecuting attorney and could be found guilty of perjury. Stop trying to look stupid.
Now please as you're going down such a stupid road I will leave you to your fantasies.

paul you are not that stupid
it has worked already, the precedent has been set
in a case that the RIAA won, thousands of songs she bought/ripped were reduced to the 24 that she downloaded/without ripping herself.
It a bad case for the RIAA because it quite clear she is only appealing to knock down bogus precedents.
IF she really wanted to get off, she would have been arguing that she used kazza as a format shifting device.
That instead of spending hours hunting thru her cd collection to find the songs she downloaded (she bought them all BTW) hours ripping those songs to mp3 one cd at a time.
She simply clicked a couple of links and downloaded an mp3 formated one.
Fair use in the us does not care about the source. The source can be 100% illegal the fair use is still legal (and format shifting is 100% fair use).
She will knock down every bogus precedent and then finally make this arguement getting off scott free.
