I just caught this in that jumble of words you posted (the enter key is your friend) and want to respond to it.
This is utter bullshit. I haven't said it's ok to post something you have no right to post, or to download something you have no right to download, or that anyone should get off on a technicality.
What I'm saying, is that trying to hold torrent sites liable for infringement is like trying to hold your ISP, or google, or Dell, or Microsoft responsible because their technology also facilitated your infringement.
By all means go after the people doing something illegal, which is downloading something they don't have a right to view.
The problem you have is with the law, not me, because the law spells out what is and isn't fair or acceptable use. Fair use is what the law says it is, not what you think it ought to be.
You keep giving gideon examples of torrents (like the wolverine workprint) and asking if there's any legal reason that torrent should be allowed to exist. Then, when he gives you one, you accuse him of siding with thieves, when all he did was answer your question based on the case law.
What the fuck?
