Well, in my opinion, I think file sharing is is one of the best things in the world. I know that it is bad though because of the fact that people these days would rather 'download' songs & movies off of the internet, and that would make movie and music industries lose money. But what can you do? I mean I've downloaded a 'few' songs of the internet too, but people are still complaining about how this is a real threat to society.
WELL, THEY ARE WRONG.
This helps us create songs out of other songs which brings out our creative side. Let's say you decide to replicate one of Di Vinci's artwork by painting it yourself and adding your own style to it, doesn't mean your stealing from someone, your using the Past to create the Future, your making a mix of your flavor and his spice to create a delicious meal.
If I were Di Vinci's shoes, I would actually be proud of the people who try to do that. They take my art and make it their own - their not stealing my work, their mashing it up to make something bigger, maybe even better (or maybe not).

Although, I'd be happy that people appreciate my work by adding flavor to my art/ music, but you know, it kind of is hard to make something from scratch. If you think about it, not one thing has been made possible, without using part of someone else's idea. Give the Blu-ray© discs for example. It was created upon records to tapes to discs.
I feel that it is acceptable to download copyrighted material if it were only intended for personal use, but the problem is that some people might take this advantage to sent to friends who might sent to other friends etc... I mean seriously, someone had to start the file sharing of one .mp3 file. That's where we get it from right?
