No, really, you can't. You can use the argument to justify digitally copying just about anything, but not to justify stealing
Stealing, copying, file sharing...call it what you want, you are still taking/giving away someone else's property without compensating the rightful owner. And it's still illegal.
Downloading is not illegal. It is the here and now and record companies are dinosaurs desperately trying to litigate themselves into a new century, but they don't have a chance once more bands jump on the NIN "pirate" bandwagon.
