Actually, ALL internet traffic is file sharing. That is the only thing the internet or any other network can do. Bits organized into blocks, that's what a file is. I ask you for a block of bits, you can send it to me or not as you please.
Fine then, you can't copyright any digital file, it's information not expression. Don't believe me? Make yourself a piece of art and store it as a file. Now open that file with a hex editor. Where did your picture go? All you is gibberish like 12A46F1B1C2259, there is no picture. Append a FLAC header to that file and your music player will play "music". Same with any number of other programs. In fact, you have to use the right program in the right way so that information is converted to your precious "expression". Praying on the lack of understand of 70 year old judges and legislators that majored in perspiration control and history is despicable, you should be ashamed.
