Answer me this:
I spend $5000 on ebooks.
My dishonest neighbour downloads those same books without paying for them.
How can you possibly say that my neighbour has not gained books that are worth $5000?
You're proposing that my neighbour should be fined $2500.
He ends up paying $2500 for the books that I've paid $5000 for. He's not being punished for his actions; he's being rewarded.
This is right in your view?
