On a torrent site the content producer doesn't get paid, but that doesn't stop the site from making money by linking to their content.

So like is good. Fair use means that if it is floating around in the airwaves I can pretty much do as I please with it and make some money and be untouchable.

Kick ass!
interesting how you deliberately ignore key parts of the statment to always come to your bogus arguements

now if the copyright holders were getting paid for that distribution, then it would be a different story.

in your magical world where, no one puts up a commercial free version, where somehow it so small that this would never happen but you could still get enough downloads to make money from putting your own commercials, the actual copyright holder would have first dibs on that income.

They could usurp that revenue stream by putting up their own commercial included version and legitimately demand that your commercial include one be taken down.

becuase your actions would establish the income stream that the law requires them to have first crack at

now if they give up that first crack then it a free for all because that is income they choose not to take and as a result represents no lost sale (because of that choice)
