seriously what about the statement that
53% of all torrent traffic is tv shows
do you not understand.
a majority of the traffic your complaining about is people using the torrents like a vcr.
add in all the backup and recovery
add in all the filesharing that authorized by piracy taxes (canada, sweden, etc)
and that number only goes up

He claims to be against piracy yet seems to champion anything that makes combating piracy more difficult.

bullshit, i teach people how to deal with piracy by being fair use friendly
i only object to things that are clearly an attempt to destroy fair use and in turn the free speech that it designed to protect.
i have repeatedly said if you support fair use you never have a problem with piracy.
