Ok, I'll direct that question to directly :)
Why is this different than recording a song from the radio?

I don't know about copying songs from the radio.. But the US code says downloading is illegal.
That's all you need to know.
Anything beyond that can be addressed to the court, from the sound of it.

Are you asking why is "file-sharing" is different from recording a song off the radio?
If that's what you're asking, the answer is that it's not. Both are infringements of copyright.
As has been explained already in this thread, one is more apt than the other to be pursued vigilantly by copyright holders, because there's a massive difference of degree and damage.
