Ever been to a computer lab? No matter that all the computers are running the same software, all of it was paid for on an individual basis. Filesharing = file stealing.

Many, many people do this. People are sharing their own home-made erotic images all over the net. This is legal and free. Project Gutenberg shares thousands of classic books, legally and at no charge. The Baen free library shares complete science fiction novels. It is licensed to do so, legally and free of charge. Musicians make their work available for free download because it lets them develop a following and attract audience independently of the established music distribution industry.Yes. The GNU general public license, used in millions of homes, businesses and government agencies all over the world, all completely legal.Actually, not so. I have worked in many places where the software was not paid for at all. This was completely legal in every case, because the software was licensed for free distribution and use. A huge number of web sites use Apache servers, completely free. Sites like download.com and sourceforge have massive amounts of useful software that can be legally used without paying a fee. [Link] |

There are private filesharing networks, as well there is encrypted data shared over public networks. @OP, the filesharing networks in them self are not illegal, but much of the content distributed over the most popular networks are likely in violation of some license agreement or copyright.
