I commit plenty myself and gave done so for decades. I also pay plenty on services and such for content I'll continue to commit copyright infring and purchasing media. But I am not going to pretend it's just legally shady, it's illegal, I know it and just don't care

History of fair use and lack of precedent says it's not as definitive as you assert.

Have fun in court on that one

It is extremely definitive you will lose because it is copy right infringement

Fair use doesnt apply to illegally downloading a vid torrent because your copy is in the mail. That is clear cut
