Ok, just to be an argumentative bastard:

The library argument is flawed... if the library bought each book at it's cover price, then made copies, bound them, and gave a copy that was JUST like the original away for free to anyone who wanted one, that would be more like file-sharing.

And to continue that comparison, anyone who goes and snags a copy of Harry Potter is a bastard who should be smacked upside the face. But if someone heard about some author that was supposed to be good and grabbed a free copy of a book to check it out, no problem. Hell, they might even like it, in which case they should BUY A COPY OF THE NEXT ONE. File-sharing is a preview tool to find music you like or a way to steal, up to the individual user. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that really do use it to steal. Blame them, not the RIAA.
