Not really, there are plenty of legal torrent files like Linux, little known bands trying to get noticed, open source software. Its like calling google a thief because it is possible to find pirated material on google.
A recent study on the impact of filesharing on CD sales shows that the more music people download on P2P-networks, the more CDs they buy.
University of London researchers, Birgitte Andersen and Marion Frenz surveyed a large group of Canadians to find out what the effect of piracy is on music sales. The results are surprising, at least, for the music industry.
peer to peer technology is 100% legal, its sharing copyrighted material without permission from the copyright owner that is against the law.
