Also, I just noticed your comment about Radio, actually you do pay for radio either directly with your license fee for the BBC or indirectly by listening to adverts, same with Spotify, YouTube etc etc. And by using those services the artist and songwriters get paid royalties because those mediums need a license to play music, that license fee is then split between the artists and they are rewarded for their work, because those business models rely on artists to run their companies. That is a fair system, sharing music where the creator doesn't get rewarded, isn't.
Again, not having a go, just making you aware of how some of the system works so you can make the consious decision to share the MP3's or not. What you then decide to do is up to you. : )
