    The difference between a backup and restribution is exactly what? Sure, there is a different to the person doing it but at one step removed from the actual process what precisely is the different?

    Nothing.

    This means that until copyright has some kind of respect it really needs to be abolished. Start with the law that says if it isn't nailed down it will be stolen. Private property is meaningless - unless defended with lethal force. If is possible to copy, it will be redistributed. Period. This would inject a sense of reality into common dealing with merchants, laborors and government agencies. You would understand why there is an armed guard at the exit of every store. You would understand why people insist they must live in gated communitied with guards, guard dogs and high fences.
