Filesharing is not a violation of copyright laws. Only when you share copyrighted information without the consent of the holder is there a violation. Bittorrent in particular is used to distribute many files perfectly legitimately, such as free software. KaZaa is one of the main publicity tools of the free music movement, again perfectly legitimately.
