Should internet piracy be legal?

Internet piracy is the unauthorized duplication and distribution of copyrighted material. There have been calls by some people to make piracy a legal thing. Some argue that piracy is not the same as theft or stealing. They are of the opinion that any copied copyrighted doesn't totally remove the material. It's just sharing and not stealing.

They believe whoever that does not want his material to be pirated should not consider pasting it on internet but instead do the hard-copy for people to buy. Making piracy legal will allow some people who are less privilege to earn a living.

Also if we critically examine the issue, people have been sharing music, movies and other media materials before the advent of internet, just that internet has made it more faster and that is why some freely give out materials like Pdf, music and movies on the internet today because they don't see any harm in piracy
