It's not as if the copyrighted material just becomes available so it can be pirated without someone putting it there in the first place. Many of these pirates also have a considerable amount of interest in this media, otherwise they would not have looked for methods to obtain it for free.

With enthusiasts looking to support one of their hobbies, it's no surprise to me that this group comprises the top of the purchase/rental crowd for this stuff.
And why should we believe Vuze in this matter. They are only a little better than Pirate Bay in what they do. It is just that they have smarter PR people to put a nice cover on their business. Their TOS says no making available of copyrighted material, but they depend on that discredited system of removing the illegal content only if they are notified(every single time someone else uploads the same illegal content).

you could have replaced the word "vuze" with "riaa/mpaa" and gotten the same effect. the point is, when you have biased parties shaping the numbers that they have a direct vested interest in, you're going to get bad results. the riaa/mpaa have come out saying they've lost kazillions of dollars per year to piracy. its no different.

personally i think in ALL copyright cases nowdays the judge should force the RIAA to prove there was a legit downloadable version on the date of the infaction. if no legit download version was available on that date then the case is automatically thrown out.

if anything it would push the music industry to put their ENTIRE library online for download from the various services. and then they would have ground to stand on in court.
