Not going to happen. Sooner or later you'll get what you deserve and go back to flipping burgers, the only thing you're good for.

Sounds like a double standard to me.

And of course when the RIAA actually follows your advice, gets a lawyer and goes after a downloader you scream bloody murder.
absolutely because as a copyright holder you only have your exclusive right because you agreed (within the act) to respect fair use.

if you don't want to fulfill the fair use responsiblity your self you should have to jump thru hoops when you might infringe on those previously agreed fair uses.

Of course you can avoid the entire set of hoops by simply giving people the life time timeshifting/backup recover rights (ie set up a private tracker).
