That can be purused through one or more of the following items:
conspiracy to commit piracy.
Statutory conspiracy
conspiracy to defraud copyright holders
That can lead to conspiracy to defraud the US tax attorney (no sales tax collected here) |
and like i said
if that bullshit arguement worked
you just killed the internet
because every single node in the network running tcp/ip packets represents multiple individuals conspiring to make full working copy.
by definition that how every picture, video, and line of text is spread across the internet, in tcp/ip packets.

An Individual may download the full copies from you directly.
That's just plain illegal distribution of copyrighted data and easy to fight 
The fun part is that if you fight the IRS you'll loose even when you are right.
Personally I'd try and hit people as hard as I can if I was fighting copyright, conspiracy to.... is an awesome tool that can be used and misused in dozens of ways 
You can't fight piracy by going after each and every person, you have to set out examples of the people you do go after.

except the only way a copyright holder could collect evidence for that crime is if they were the downloader
the downloader has a right to download it (authorized agent) which means the seeder isn't giving it to someone who doesn't have a right to it
that exactly the same situation as me loaning my betamax cassette of knight rider to a friend who had TV/VCR/NBC in his home.
the second you put a third party in the mix, the seeder no longer gives away any working copies at all, he gives 1/2 the pieces to person a and 1/2 to person b and then he is done.
