I'm not convinced it's wrong to share music files. Fuck doing what you're told, fuck the law. Until someone shows me proof that file sharing is causing record prices to drop and not the sour economy, then i'm don't believe it's wrong. Yet when Napster was all the rage and the economy wasn't half as bad (see 2001) record sales didn't slip.
And there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that show illegal distributed mp3's helped album sales, not hurt. see Radiohead Kid A, 50 Cent, etc.
artists are living in poverty not because of filesharing but because of industry practice. and that no one can deny.
Plus music is not fonts. The audience for music is much wider and the economies are different. That's a lazy and easily debunkable argument.
