Yes and no...
if all people turn off file sharing - from where you will get your files? And donīt forget the most applications have anti-freeloader tools so you have to share at least some files...
and if you violate the law with downloading copyrighted material depends on the country where do you live. In Germany for example it was allowed to download but not to share copyrighted material a few weeks ago - now they changed it and you are only allowed to download from "legal" sources (Gnutella sure isnīt a legal source for copyrighted files).
