There are certainly some things that I have gotten that I know where not gotten legally. DVD rips of movies with digital watermarks and the like
But you're leaving a massive gap of people who are buying products then sharing them. Which means that a great deal of sharing that I have done is well within the accepted norm.
As to the licensing again I'm not a lawyer. But by not profiting (my take on profit) I am no different than a library from a moral standpoint.

If you buy a song and then give it to someone else and delete it from your computer, you're no different than the library and you're not doing anything wrong.
If you buy a song and give it to 10 friends along with keeping a copy for yourself, you just fucked the copyright holder over. Telling yourself otherwise is just intellectually dishonest.

So I either am or am not profiting from the use of the free copyrighted material.
Pick
There is no difference between a hard drive and a library. One is physical one is digital.
You are making a pretty fine line in your moral code there.

Not at all. Making the copy without permission is profiting. If you give a copy to someone and delete yours there was no profit because the net number of copies didn't change. For YOU to increase the number of copies out there without permission is profiting.

But as I said before, I don't recognize artists rights to control the number of digitized copies of the intellectual property. As some one who grew up in the digital age it was hard for me to wrap my head around your argument. Now that I understand I'm saying there is nothing morally wrong from me keeping a copy of some one's music.
Morally this is no different than being a library. Depending on what you share you could be doing the community a service.
edit - from my viewpoint, and probably a lot of my generations.

So do you think ancient scholars transcribing text was theft?
You have a very strong view on people's right to control information

I don't know if it was theft or not. The notion of intellectual property didn't exist at the time, so probably not. Historical arguments like that are pretty weak. Lots of things were morally acceptable that would be universally condemned today.
I do have strong views on people's right to control the distribution of their creations, yes. I see a strong value in the concept of intellectual property where you see none. I suspect your opinion comes from ignorance and/or unwillingness to look at the bigger picture.
In any case, you want shit for free, so no one is going to convince you that you're morally culpable for taking it for free. Like so many others, your morals are defined by your desires.

We made your thread interesting. Your threads, as a rule, suck so badly that you should be glad that someone other than you took the initiative to improve one of them.

The morality...not the legality. Your reading comprehension is piss poor.
There is no question that it's illegal. You're violating federal law on a regular basis, and hopefully you'll be fined for it, although I'd be just as happy to see you end up in federal pound-in-the-ass prison.
That's unlikely though.
A man can still dream...

I said federal prison, kid. No parole up in that motherfucker. You'll have lots of time to sit and ponder all of the things you'd like to do to some random internet dude's ass...
...since obviously that's your thing.

It's easy to defend broadening access to information that improves quality of life. For example ancient authors transcribing text. Obviously it becomes much more of a grey area when you're talking about entertainment. But you give up the right to control information as soon as you let it into the public sphere.

Yes. It provides the capital and motivation to develop them.
