peer-to-peer an ethics issue

When it comes to file sharing I feel that it is not ethical because, peer-to-peer to me is receiving something for free you’re not paying for it and that to me is basically stealing, over the internet. We all have heard of lime-wire which is an illegal file sharing of downloaded music and sometimes movies. It is mainly the illegal download use of music. To me when you download free music which are copyright that artist works hard for you’re actually taking food out their mouth, music is that person passion and life and you’re taking away from what they work hard for. Some people feel that illegal file sharing isn’t un-ethical, but if we look at what ethics is we all will come to a different viewpoint based on how we were raised and our culture. To me it has to do with what a person feeling; if that feeling is telling them whether or not it’s right or wrong, it also has to do with what the law requires. I feel that file-sharing is something hard to control because it’s over the internet and it’s not like you can really hold one person responsible for these un-ethical behaviors. Some people argue that there’s nothing wrong with downloaded music for free but they fail to realize that when you downloaded for free you’re hurting others financially. I feel that if you're getting music and other forms of entertainment such as movies and you're not paying for them, then you're doing something un-ethical and you're also breaking the law.
