I still use P2P in this way.

I have also used it in the way that most of the illegal users justify it. For example, I recently felt like I should listen to more Cheap Trick. The only local record store sells $20 CD's, so I downloaded a few albums until I could get out to Best Buy to pick up a copy.

Actually, my primary use of P2P programs has shifted, but I can still use the same justifications. I now download entire series of TV shows. I actually don't do it just to get them for free, I do it because I tend to get addicted to a show, and don't want to pick up the story mid-way. So, especially for a show that is aired in order, I download the ones that have been passed, and I start watching the TV episodes when they air. Otherwise, I would skip the show entirely, and they'd lose any chance of my possibly stopping Tivo to watch a paid advertisement
