How are they attempting to "redefine copyright law" ?
The Story Game wrote:"Stop that, you Womble!" cried Bernard Cribbins III, Lord of the Sphincters (aka Birmingham), when he saw the light through a window at the YMCA meeting, and secretly farted a fart so vile that Fartingbob, the Regional Minister of Assgas's President, was removed from office due to large orgies behind airport scanners and a propensity for midget porn with black and white outline images of Hugh Hefner's todger, as shown by Ron Jeremy's fluffer, sunnyd.

By making up a theory that it is a copyright infringement to "make files available", even though there is nothing in the Copyright Act that says anything like that. For a good explanation of the perniciousness of that theory, and the danger it poses to the internet, read the amicus curiae brief of the US Internet Industry Association and Computer & Communications Industry Association in Elektra v. Barker.
