Filesharing/Downloading Not wrong, just illegal in some places

I didnt read all of it.. but i think the law of file sharing is oldschool.

Secondly, watching streams of tv shows and movies online is leagal for the viewer, but not the one that streams it. I just cant see the difference in the two acts.. both give you the same result, one is just breaking the law in terms of the definition of copyright (from the end users point of view).

Youtube hosts full shows, Megavideo hosts full movies and shows, zshare etc etc.. all leagal to watch. But if i go and download the same off of a torrentsite, its illegal. Even if i dont upload any files. The law is contradicting itself.

If i buy a movie and bring over 30 of my closest friends to watch it, its legal. But if i stream it online for the same 30 to see, its illegal. Just dosent make sense.

It's only legal to watch those on youtube because they obviously get permission to put those movies and shows on their site,plus they advertise during those. Filesharing a movie online is like making 30 copies,which is different than buying one movie. Unless you steam that movie online and bring over those 30 freinds.
