Yes you are. You are saying if I don't release it in all formats that those who prefer to see it in that format can now just take it for free because it isn't a "lost sale." I want to be allowed to distribute it at my leisure and if that means it will be a couple of years before I release a theatrical movie on DVD, so be it. Just because your taking it without paying doesn't damage me to day doesn't mean it won't down the road.

we are talking about STOPPING people from putting it on the torrents.

fair use doesn't force you do anything with your content
fair use simply takes away your right to stop people from doing what they want with the content they bought.
Fair use does not allow you to distribute someone else work. I know, you will argue that you are backing it up to the cloud, that is horseshit and you know it. You are distributing it to other people and you don't have that right.

copyright allows you to make the sale for the content in every medium
if you decide not to make the sale in a medium then there is no sale to be lost

so yes that is correct




your not forced to provide it in all formats
See my answer above. Just because I choose not to sell it in a particular format today, doesn't mean I won't a few years from now.
