I agree that the beneficial argument is garbage and in no way justifies piracy. Where it should be relevant is in evaluating the effects of piracy, informing public policy and future legislation and informing decisions by content providers. I will also say that I tend to doubt the efficacy of this argument in any event. Whilst it may well be true in some cases I really doubt that the number of such cases are significant.
