It lets them send you the articles in whole so that they are in your possession after the fact which greatly aids their claims in court that you stole the content.

One problem with this hypothesis I see is ... didn't a company that makes porn movies get caught seeding their own torrents - which blew up in their face after they tried taking to court people who torrented said movies?

I can't help but imagine that would make such maneuvers, similar maneuvers, seem less likely to work - that there are cases of people trying it only to have it blow up in their faces, I mean.

They didn't. Only the store choose to do that.

This "SOLELY X makes Y do Z" thing is not logical.

The other thing is - who gives a fuck, apart from scientists, on how many cores cpu has, if they all work on same slow speed.
