You don't understand his position. He said he did not download it. He also said why would he download it, as he already owns it. Whether or not he bought it before or not could still be argued regardless of producing a receipt. It would simply go to believability. Regardless, he is not going to argue he downloaded it but it was fair use. He has clearly said he did not download it. The fact that he owns the copy just goes to support the claim that he had no reason to download it. Comparing it to a car stereo is not the same thing. There might be some value for an individual to have another physical car stereo. Just like there might be a reason for a person to have another physical pressed copy with box of the dvd of the movie. There is no real value in downloading it when you already have a copy sitting ten feet away from you. I think it goes a long way to showing there was no reason for him to download the movie. Not to mention it was probably on heavy cable/satellite rotation at that time as well, so he would have also had access to it in that manner if he had satellite or cable and subscribed to those channels. Comparing intellectual property to something that is a tangible product with no means of digital duplication is simply invalid.
