the legal point is not what it COULD be used for but what it IS used for.

someone using kazaa to get music they never bought is violating copyright law

someone using kazaa to change format shift content they bought is not.

read ruling in the 20th century fox vs cable vision ruling.

The judge (and the supreme court agreed) that the point of view you must take when determining if something is fair use or not is end user

fair use counts even in large amounts.
