just like the original vcr which can be daisy chained together to make bootleg copies, doesn't invalidate my right to use it to timeshift tv shows that i paid for.
the fact that torrents are used to pirate shit shouldn't invalidate my right to use it to timeshift tv shows.

I don't think anybody is saying the technology is unlawful. Just as you can use VCRs to record TV shows and movies for your own use, you can likewise make digital copies for your own use.
As with the VCR, the problem arises when you share those copies with others, especially for some type of financial gain.
