My argument: The multi billion $$$$ copyright holders create infinitely more jobs than the thieves and pirates

except that an over whelming majority of those jobs exist because "pirates" successfully validated fair use for the world.
117:1 number comes from a simple comparision
Deduct all the movies sales from the home viewing market (53% of all copyrighted content) and add that to the fair use side
Deduct all the tv stations that used the home viewing market as a justification for their subscription model (HBO, Showcase ...) and them to the fair use side
Deduct all the hours of tv syndication that used the record viewing as proof that the market was valid (speciality channels, day time syndication .... ) and add them to the fair use side
If anything this number is under estimated because many of the over 9000 channels didn't directly point to recording/home viewing market.
As a result they are mistakenly counted on the non fair use side.
If you allocated on aggressive basis
it 3 TV stations airing primarily 4 hours a day vs 9000 stations airing 24 hours a day.
even when you factor cost based on licencing fees (first run vs non first run) it still over 7372:1
