If the local movie theatre had an unlocked back door, with noone watching it, you don't think that the fact that people could sneak in and watch for free would have any affect on ticket sales?
Not every sneak would be a lost sale, but some would. Whether that is 5% or 50% is something about which reasonable people may differ, but to claim either 100% or 0% are equally risible.
Once again I suggest you actually read through the studies, rather than drawing simplistic conclusions based solely on what appears to be intuitively right. The world and everything in it seldom work along as straightforward lines as you seem to believe.
