laws against filesharing,

Are you sure about that?

Completely. It's criminal offence to share, use or make duplicates of data You have no usage rights. And it's criminal offence too to support filesharing, even openly telling "piracy is good" can get you in years of troubles and your electronic equipment can be confiscated.

Filesharing is not completely illegal, it is only illegal if you are filesharing copyrighted works that you do not have the right to distribute.

What's the purpose to share files that anyone can download from the authors website?

For example, Linux distributions are frequently downloaded over torrents so they ease up the traffic on the official download channels. Public-domain books can be so old there is no "author's website." And some artists want to distribute some or all of their music on filesharing to increase their fan base.

What jursidiction? What data? There are some many issues with the statement above that it doesn't really mean anything. We do all the filesharing we want here in Somalia, and no one bothers us about it

Exactly my point.  There are uses for file sharing protocols such as bittorrent that do not include sharing data for which you have no usage rights.  Thus, "filesharing" is by no means illegal.
