| File sharing does not cross any human rights |
But it does challenge property rights. Now, you might not think that property rights are necessary for democracy. But this is an entirely different argument from what you suggested. It is also inconsistent with every contemporary justice system that I can think of (or at least the ones I would want to live under).
Filesharing does harm people. It takes something they have produced (their music) and gives it to someone else. The person who made the music gets nothing from it and if the person who receives it would have given them money for it in some other way, then they have lost that money. Now, you may consider that is not significant harm, which can be argued for. But to assert that it doesn't harm anyone is not factually correct.
You can (and do start to) make a case that the harm is less than the benefit of file-sharing. But the assertion that "it would be undemocratic for government allow laws to be passed against the majority of people" is false with all the definitions of democracy. If you rest your criticism on this assertion, then you are on very dubious grounds. The argument that, "everyone does it, so it must be OK" is not a good place to start, especially when there are alternatives.
