what most sites are doing id consider file sharing. theyre sharing goods for the love of said goods and not profiting from the distribution.

The sites are profiting off this illegal trade. And users are profiting, they post and get a chance to download something else without paying. I am all for sharing in the family, but I have no tolerance for illegal file sharing. Sharing is a misnomer, anyway, how can you share something that isn't yours to give away?
