I think making a copy of something electronic and stealing something physical from a shop is different. If you copy something you're not stealing, you've just made a duplicate of it. This doesn't mean that copying without permission is right, I just think we need to understand they are not the same thing.

If you download something without permission nobody can say for sure that if you were unable to get it free that you would have bought it. If you wouldn't have bought it in any case couldn't it be said that the copyright holder has lost nothing?
