I keep having to repeat until I'm hoarse: "mere profit potential does not confer legitimacy on a business model"—see also child pornography and illegal drugs: both are profitable, neither of them are legal.
If your business model cannot operate without copyright violation then it should be no more legal than any other large-scale IP piracy operation.
@cstross @lilithsaintcrow There's a big difference between copyright violation and fair use. Many entire industries rely on fair use of copyrighted materials.
