Claiming that your untested interpretation of the law says something does not make precedent. This particular argument hasn't yet made it to court, but torrent cases have, and torrents are basically just more detailed hashes of each section of a file. Your argument would imply that torrent files are also legal, and yet Isohunt and others have lost in court over them.
Those hashes are not what they have ownership of.
Now if you meant hat they want to expand that law... well yes, but that's different.
