Well, a supreme court judge saw no difference between file sharing and say borrowing a book in the library, or something a long those lines. It boils down to fair usage.

The other point is we in Canada pay a tariff on blank media such as CD-Rs, and a tariff on MP3 players. This is compensation in lieu of the file sharing.

I don't use file sharing myself though because of the spyware and malware that comes bundled with P2P programs.
