This document discusses arguments around whether file sharing should be illegal. It provides perspectives that file sharing can benefit industries by helping to cut costs, create opportunities for worldwide distribution and promotion, and reach a large potential marketing audience of millions of illegal downloaders. However, it is difficult to police illegal downloading and pursuing exorbitant lawsuits against individual downloaders. Some perspectives presented are that file sharing is a form of sharing, a purchase did occur from the downloader's perspective, and that new methods of distribution and promotion could help create a brighter future for the industry.
