So in a nut shell you(and I imagine the others arguing that "file sharing" is not wrong but who refuse to respond to my question) are admitting that fundamentally, at it's core,"file sharing" is indeed wrong. You simply think it is justified due to the arguments put forward. Kind of like an "ends justifies the means" argument. Glad that is cleared up.

Think of it this way: if bread cost $300 per loaf, most will start baking at home, and you'll start seeing bread-van robberies.

Totally different point and not one I am interested in discussing. I will say you are most likely correct, however, that has nothing to do with the fundamental wrongness or otherwise of "file sharing".
