Do you consider file sharing wrong?

I'm talking about the illegal kind where you get free films and music, I'm really not sure about it.
I know what the law says, but like prohibition I know that there is virtually no chance of being caught and that not everyone agrees with the law.
I'm more interested in the morality of it than the legality.
Is it stealing when you are making a copy over the internet and not taking anything away from anybody. Does it make any difference that all it actually means is slightly less money in the pockets of billionaire record and film companies and that you are not taking money from people who need it.
What do you think?
What's the christian point of view?
 
i don't think so, i do not really believe in intellectual property,

i give all my software, music and writing away for free
 
Afraid god will smite you for not buying coldplay's latest album?
 
They say it is pirating - so it has to be wrong. If wrong then it is sin for the Christian.
 
No. Screw those corporate fat cats from RIAA that get like 90% of music sales revenue. We are in the economic recession right now. Can't afford to waste 23 bucks on a ridiculously overpriced CD. I'm sure they will survive without their Bugatti or a gold fountain.

And like the first guy said, artists make the bulk of their money from touring. RIAA makes the bulk of their money from CD sales.
