But by doing so, you're taking revenue from the car dealership that might have sold that Ferrari - and the creative designers who came up with the car, the marketers who made you want the car... Shouldn't they be compensated when you get to drive this car?
As a society, we've been handed a genie that can duplicate books, movies, music, and software at our command. And most people don't see asking a genie for their wish to be wrong. The people that profit off of content now have to take into account the effect of the genie on the marketplace.
Because you can't put the genie back into the bottle.
