That seems like a circular argument.

The questions was if people were againts piracy. Empirically we see that people do not behave as if they are against it. Also the reason to be against it is not so simple minded like "wrong have and use a copy" (since libraries are counter example). And boying second hand is getting something without paying to the author.

So people will know that you cannot use inituitions from property reasoning here.
