You seem to have misunderstood what I was meaning to convey.
I wasn’t even meaning to say much in the way of the virtues or not of piracy, or the legitimacy of copyright in it’s present form.
If Google, YouTube, Dropbox didn’t exist you could still share files with your friends.
Sharing a file with a friend and him benefiting in some way from that is a different thing entirely than massive centralizing corporations flouting copyright rules to benefit commercially and increase their power.
