Even if that's correct, that doesn't mean that what Kim did wasn't illegal or wrong. Kim wasn't simply engaged in "file sharing" he ran a multimillion dollar parallel distribution system. He wasn't sharing, he was basically using file sharers as a Mechanical Turk to scrape the Internet for content which he then monetized at a large scale.

What he did was illegal, but not necessary wrong.

If you think Kim was in the right, then why not Amazon? your cable company? Why does Valve even bother paying Bethesda a share? Etc. File sharing is highly tolerable as a small enterprise, even if it is aggregately large; it's not tolerable as a highly profitable business model.

I see it as increasing efficiency, but others see it as stealing.

He wasn't stealing food to give it to the starving poor, he was helping immature people get access to entertainment when waiting or doing without would do them no harm at all. There's no moral high ground there. What he did was illegal, and wrong.

Jesus didn't feed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish, he entertained 5,000 with five mp3s and two mp4s.

Jesus was clearly stealing from the bakers and fishermen, who were robbed of over 5000 bread and fish sales that day. Damn socialist.

You didn't say how it was wrong and what harms it cause.
