It’s perfectly understandable to feel conflicted about college kids being sued by the RIAA for illegal file sharing. On one hand, stealing is wrong, whether it’s something as big as a hot car or as little as a hit song. On the other hand, the students under fire for filesharing may have had a good reason for downloading all those songs for free – a reason other than simply being too lazy to pay for them. Maybe they honestly believed that what they were doing wasn’t wrong. There are a lot of gray areas concerning the ethics of file sharing and the rights of artists and consumers. Students sued for file sharing need savvy attorneys to help them navigate these gray areas.
