I just literally don't know how you can do it. You're arguing with people who's "points" directly contradict what they are saying. It's...Uhg, I just can't even begin to understand why you bother with it. Kane's post should be a prime example of someone arguing with you on a point they don't understand as his posts directly conflict the legal definition of fair use. How can you possibly debate something with people who literally can't even comprehend what they are debating.
You are arguing with a brick wall. Plain and simple.

I was using this as an example of a torrent site which posts all kinds of copyrighted materials.
A torrent site has links to TV shows that have had the commercials edited out of them (not by the studio, but the person that recorded them) then the torrent site puts advertising on their site to make money from the people who come to that site to download the shows.
How is that different than if I just splice in my own commercials? I won't put any ads on my site, you can just come and download the shows for free, but Gideon thinks people should be allowed to help people get fair use access to content and they should be allowed to develop alternative revenue streams while doing it.
I'm not charging, I'm just giving people what they have the right to have, only I have developed an alternative revenue stream. Just like a torrent site does with its banner ads.
