you don't prevent sony/walmart etc from selling vcr (providing the service) that can be used for both infringing and non infringing purposes you go after the actual people infringing.
You do however take down sites like thepiratebay, megaupload that can be used for both legit and infringing activity
That the fucking point
Go after the individual leachers who don't have a fair use right to the content, go after the individual uploaders who don't have a fair use right.
Treat the torrents like you treat a vcr.
