Lastly, parking lot and storage locker analogies are really unconvincing, especially because those goods can only be trafficked once, whereas RS makes its money distributing them many times. (Which is why you have to pay for a premium account if you want files to be downloadable >10x).
RS doesn't do that though. They aren't the ones putting the content up. They're no more responsible than your ISP. The laws for copying content protect companies who offer a service that is being misused.
