actually he is setting up to make the access shifting argument in the states

many countries including Canada have recognized the concept that your doing no economic damage if the price of the item is zero (because it not for sale) at the time of infringement.

I've heard MU had a policy that would restrict the access studios had to being able to delete over a certain amount of videos per day.

This guy's defense has so many holes it's hilarious. Trying to bill himself as being a file transfer service when he was selling memberships for "unlimited access". That has nothing to do with being able to download your boss's PowerPoint presentation...

He's going to have a hell of a time proving he wasn't a file sharing site. They've already got mountains of emails between him and his employees that talk about paying uploaders for trending in-demand software and movies.

he mentioned the fair use of backup too

and you do have a right to backup content you paid for.
