Repeating this ad nauseam still won't make it true.

Ignoring the fact that your notion of how the law should be is utterly impractical; you seem to staunchly refuse to recognize that the downloader is receiving a copy in practical terms, not making a copy.

You need to get down to a technical level well below the threshold of concern of judges and the law in order to be able to say, "They're both making a copy."
