if they were organized crime you could get them shut down with rico you moron.

fair use rights should be technologically agnostic, i have as much of a right to use torrents as a timeshifting device as my parents had to use a vcr.

Just because the US wrote a law that is so out of wack that it is now being used to take way the right of backup from people doesn't mean that every country should have to obey it.

canada doesn't have a DMCA abusive law yet, and i am glad of that, the absurd arguement that we have to comply with takedown request especially the person filing the request doesn't agree to be bound by the counter restriction (all legal expenses if it is fair use).
the big difference between vcr's and torrents is that blank vcr tapes were needed and a portion of the price was a tax to cover lost advertising revenue.
