Re: What % of File-sharing is Legal?
I'd believe it. Take a look at any file sharing search engine and see what the top results are. Every one I've seen, the first few pages of results are all copyrighted, stuff (either music, movies or software). |

The Cloud | Yeah, don't use common sense or anything. Deny reality and claim that file-sharing isn't primarily piracy traffic.
It's a shame we don't run the country using more common sense. |

Just because you saw a few sites that have some copyrighted material on them does not mean you can claim that most file sharing is illegal. Just because you do not know of the websites or have only seen one of them that have non-copyrighted material does not mean you can claim that either wise. When you come back with actual research done by a reputable organization using sound research methods (not the "Look, a couple of illegal file sharing sites, all of them must be illegal!" method) I will believe you.
P.S. - Running a search for "legal file sharing" will not give you a list of all legal file sharing sites. Sometimes -- just sometimes -- it takes a bit more than Googling a search term to find what you are looking for.

Ever seen an electron? No? I guess by your logic they must not exist. |

said by Skeedatl :Ever seen an electron? No? I guess by your logic they must not exist. Noone really knows for sure, but at least there is enough SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to show that most-likely they do exist.
What scientific evidence is there that all (or most) file sharing is illegal? A few readily-disproved statistics in a few hardly-scientific newspapers or magazines? A couple of Joes browsing the internet and making claims based on their viewing of less than 0.01% of the internet?

said by Skeedatl : ... the first few pages of results are all copyrighted, stuff ... How do you know it is copyrighted stuff? You must have downloaded something, played it, and saw it was. Right? Hmmmmm so you violated copyright laws? There is NO OTHER way to identify copyright infringement.
These "guesstimates" of illegal P2P use are meaningless suppositions, which can't withstand legal scrutiny.

The funny part is, I'd bet around half of the "illegal" content isnt actually the "illegal" file it claims to be. |

They are an abstract concept used in physics to represent certain observations. The underlying nature of the physical universe is analogue (waves, vbrations, etc..) not bits of matter.
