It's broader than that. We all tend to assume that others feel, think, and act like we do, and that we're representative, regardless of the circumstances and choices. That's almost never true, and the consequences of doing so can be tragic when it gets to areas like international relations.
But quite so: we
don't know if the majority of files on RapidShare are illegal, and we
can't know. Claims otherwise are unsubstantiated and anecdotal, and not meaningful evidence one way or the other.
