Music was never meant to be copyrighted, - or restricted...The "law" was designed to stop massive redistribution, - not a few one-off copies.
It has been "proven" that sharing of music leads to greater sales.
How can it be theft if one receives more because of sharing?
Your analogy's are completely off base.

Look,I speak from the experience of having been signed with a record label, and have more than a few friends with major label deals; you've lost focus with this argument when you talk about what stealing is, and what fair use is, and where the benefit lies.
Step up, research, have fun. Read Courtney Love's Salon article regarding the biggest fear of a signed musician and a musician's revenue that is "stolen" constantly by their own label(s).
Fair use means publicity and enhanced sales.

Is that better?Why are you so persistent in continuing to inflame the discussion? If you know better, and you are on the correct side of the discussion, then why is it necessary to do this?
Of course, it is fair to mention that there also IS such a thing as LEGAL file-sharing as well.
