I know that my argument would not stand in court, but when I read this, it makes it harder for me to be against illegal downloading.

Although I prefer buying content directly from the artist, like Louis CK does. As long as it seems "fair", I buy.

That where piracy comes from: a rational argument about a skewed market.

I agree. An argument doesn't have to stand up in court to be right or moral and I believe yours is both. If FOX can abuse Youtube policies and the DMCA, I see no reason why people shouldn't abuse FOX and pirate.
