The problem seems to be that you believe your own quote should be infringing until it has been proven to be fair use in a court of law. Unfortunately, that is how it is working, right now, and it should not. That is the twisting of the law that seems to have so many here perturbed.

New business model? Not my problem.
Propping up your old business model? Also not my problem.
The fact that you can't take the suggestions that Mike, and many others, have set right out in front of you, and have to ask us what you should be doing is telling.
Here's a clue for you: more laws will not save you.
Pretty much it is since it's the commenters who put the marks there. They vote for what they find insightful or funny, not Mike. That's why there's the inclusion of an 'Editor's Pick' every weekend.
That 'test' is for commercial activities, something that Geohot has not been proven to be actually doing. Donations do not make for commercial activity.
Please explain how you believe there are 'minimum contacts' sufficient to put jurisdiction in California. Having read the linked article, I am not seeing where you think minimum contacts exists.
'What you propose it to basically add an asterisk on the patent and copyright system that says "if PEOPLE DIE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE IN PRODUCTION, we can take your rights away".'
Amusing. 17 s106 isn't cited in any shoplifting case, so I still call bullshit on this. Since section 106 lists exclusive rights in copyrighted works and has nothing to do with the theft of a physical object, I'd say this fails. Try again?
I cannot accept your tangible change to a physical object by copying it, as no actual physical change has been made to the original object. You're trying to twist words and the conversation in ways that science does not support.
I'm addicted to using my telephone, too, but I'm not paying some jackass to sit in front of a peg board and move wires around when a computer bank and relays will do it faster, cheaper, and more accurately.
'And you're addicted to the music that is for sale, not the stuff you could get on Jamendo.'
Baseless supposition, facts not in evidence. I haven't purchased from an RIAA label in 20 years, and don't even listen to the 'pop' stations on the radio. I do, however, download a lot of indie music. Stuff with some actual soul to it as opposed to the corporate-sanitized trash you're pushing.

Secondly, the courts have said infringement is not theft, that the two concepts are distinct and separate, so... you're welcome.
