Might I point out that the entire generation of which you speak is not
entirely made up of those who see nothing wrong with file sharing and
lack the same ethical perspective as does your generation.  I consider
myself to be part of that younger generation, being 19 years old
(hence the reason I felt a need to defend my generation).  Yet, I do
have a problem with getting things for free which were not intended to
be free, however much it might seem like they should be free. 
Although, I must admit, I do often find myself in the minority in my
views.
