I'm arguning "A" and they're arguing "B"

My point was "intent" - I don't specifically intend to violate copyright and, as I'm sure you aware of, not everything posted in those groups are violations of copyright. They're arguing the "result" - downloading some files from some groups are violations of copyright

which I haven't denied in any way shape or form.

There are many files posted which aren't available anywhere else, even after Googling for them. Amazon doesn't sell everything, right? So, according to certain IWETHEYers, to avoid violating copyright I must deny myself access to some files until such time that they MAY become available by the copyright holders, even if that DOESN'Toccur within my lifetime.
