100% dead wrong

more than 50% of all torrent traffic is tv shows
timeshifting a tv show using a cloud is legal even in th states.
ergo a majority of torrent use is NOT theft but legally defined fair use of timeshifting.

the problem is you are trying to reclassify something that is legal as if it is illegal
that is the fundamental problem with the procecutions case in this example too.
