How? If I give you a CD that I duped, that you would never in a million years
have purchased, I don't see how it effects the profits of the music company
that made the CD that I bought. It just doesn't!
Same with books and software and everything.
All that said, I do kind of support the right of an author to enter a contract
with the consumer to behaver in certain ways. I'm not sure how we should
handle how those copyrights should pertain to those not entered into such a
contract (like the recipient of pirated media). I guess it seems to me that
all damages should cascade back to the contract participant.

How?
I have money to pay for art. I spend it that way. But not everything. How
does it "cheapen the art" or hurt the producer if I borrow a book, CD,
whatever?
