Stealing is wrong, but what if you're trading open source and such.
Stealing is wrong; however, there are many files that can be traded publicly and freely. I don't mind people outlawing piracy, but if you destroy P2P you destroy a useful tool.
You could trade open source files, free poetry, open play manuscripts. The list goes own.
Trying to shut down P2P is like saying,
"drugs come through the Airports, lets shut them down."
