Filesharing isn't piracy. It's filesharing.

Piracy is when you attack a ship and steal its cargo.

But, of course, it was difficult for the RIAA to have a war on sharing, so they had to use a different term with sinister connotations and implant it into the public consciousness.

And it worked! You never hear anybody talk about "filesharing" anymore.
