congress didn't give in to the mpaa when they demanded that they tarriff the vcr
enough people wanted that right to stay around (timeshifting) that the congress had no choice but to let it be.
responses like the one i showed you are blow back from trying to push draconian laws instead of figuiring out the economic solution to the problem.
it more likely that all filesharing for personal use will become fair use.
funny part is if you actually used a fair use friendly approach the current laws are actually too strong.
