Cablevision designed THEIR platform to let THEIR customer, the time-shifter, control their cloud which is why they did not need to license the stored data for distribution.

That's the difference between you and cablevision, that invalidates several of your previous arguments.

Unless you have something new to say I'll let you have the final answer in your next reply, your just running in circles
i am running in circles because you making up insanely stupid statements to justify your bogus position

now your arguing that you can only get fair use rights from a single corporate entity

well that bullshit and you know it

dozens of open source cd rippers exist
dozens of dvd rippers exist

dozens of open source pvr exist

those plateforms are designed to provide fair use services (the last being timeshifting) without a corporate structure defining it use

the same is true for a swarm, it just the open platform (think open source) version of the fair use right

fact is it all legal because fair use is a blanket exemption to the exclusive rights of the copyright holder

read the copyright act no where does it mandate control, or even a single responsible party PERIOD.

the exclusive rights of the copyright holder exist not withstanding fair use

for fair use there is no exclusive rights, it is effectively public domain for that scope.
