So I can violate the copyright laws as I please if I only take care to store all the illegal copies in someone else's warehouse?

Verizon must honor the terms of the GPL only if it takes actions permitted by the GPL but otherwise forbidden by copyright law. I believe that the details of who owns the storage and how the file is transmitted matter as to whether this is the case.
It is extremely unlikely that this is the case. The SFLC dismissed its case because it knew it was a losing proposition and that they would have to pay for Verizon's legal fees. They didn't want to incur any more expense, so they surrendered.> Do you seriously believe that is the case? It is a reasonable explanation of why the SFLC dismissed its case against Verizon, made more plausible by the "actiontec gateway" part of the URL.

Because that is part of what I do for a living and I am very familiar with how corporations structure backend storage. What on earth would qualify you to come up with such a half-wit theory as you have done?
