You seem to be having trouble making a logical argument without the help of a few straw-men. What exactly in my answer gave you the idea, that I am a "righteous file sharer?"

I never meant to suggest you personally were. You gave an answer in direct response to my question regarding file sharing and I responded to your answer.
Secondly I have not made any straw men arguments at all.

Ok, this part seems to be saying that you believe that in my example "file sharing" would be wrong. Is that correct? If not, could you clarify what you mean by "Yes, it would be wrong" as it seems pretty straight forward to me.

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.

This is the part where you reason that it is justified due to the reasons you give. It is also the part where you use some of the usual arguments that I specifically stated in my example I would like to try to set aside as I was not trying to determine if people felt it was justified but if they felt the act itself would be wrong if those arguments were no longer relevent.
So, if you still feel I have misunderstood your point, then please clarify it and I'd be happy to respond to your clarification.
