Well, if sharing copyrighted content isn't illegal, then obviously nothing I said matters. Go ahead and do it in the light of day and post stories about your exploits to the internet.

I just find the argument "we weren't really doing anything illegal, we were just helping you do something illegal by getting you 90% of the way there; so we should be legal." to be tedious and unconvincing.

No, this is not about "freedom of speech".

Well, if sharing copyrighted content isn't illegal,..

It isn't in some countries. It's been proven in court many times.
