It can, actually. Let me give you a trivial example: you're a musician and sell CDs. I buy one.

Now I make a copy for a friend of mine (and, just for the sake of argument here, let's assume this is violating your copyright). You don't know about this copying of mine. Are you seriously going to suggest that your copyright has now decreased in value?
