I presented this argument tonight in deviance of sociology class and justified downloading music and movies by saying something along the lines of, "I do it more as sampling. What's the point of buying an album I heard was good or that I think I'd like only to find out I hate it after I spent $15? If I really enjoy something that I download I'll buy the album/movie/TV box set. I like to think that's the same mind set as others, thus sharing music/movies/TV is justified."
