""File sharing"" is a propagandistic misnomer which was applied by the proponents of Napster because what they were doing was creating a criminal conspiracy to infringe copyrights. What their system actually did was ""file copying."" The fact that others used the misnomer does not mitigate the inaccuracy. I'd call it a ""file stealing"" system, but that's not ""neutral.""
