Do you think music distributed on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are legitimate copies?

Question by Knowledge Seeker: Do you think music distributed on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are legitimate copies?
I’ve noticed that many people think that the music files distributed on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are legitimate copies for free distribution.

I’m trying to figure out why people think this is true.
