That's not true. The damages might be hard to prove in a lawsuit, and of course, we'd need one of Mr. Ploppy's wormholes to get real numbers, but despite all the rationalizations, it is a fact there are people who will take stuff for free, if they want it and don't think they'll be punished, and can get it easily, rather than pay for it, and who would give in and pay for it if they can't. These are potential sales lost. The fact that other kinds of pirates also exist in no way means that this kind does not, and no rationalization about giving the author free publicity changes it.
