and even the US courts have recognized the right to use the cloud as a timeshifting medium means that a majority of their business is completely non infringing.

unless you are a moron who believes all of those advancements are bad, you should be able to realize that they are accepting what is considered a slur as a badge of honour.

people often refer to pirates to describe people who steal shit, unless you are a moron and believe thats good.
So what you are saying is merely by calling them pirates , they are now heroes who are doing legal things because someone once called vcr users "pirates" and we all know vcr's r cool so thus killing and robbing people must be cool 2. So now anyone who is called a pirate is a hero despite what they are doing because often in history people who were called pirates were then called heroes ( despite the many pirates who just killed people and stole their shit )
Thats like saying its ok to kill someone because once there was a guy who killed someone and he wasnt charged. look heres proof murder is legal
US vs murderer 1998
man found not guilty for murder
see murder is legal
