Not at all.
I've never told once in my life that artists should not be paid.
What I say is that copyright, today, is completely nonsense. For the exact reason you are exposing: digital copies have no physical value at all.

I say that copyright is not the only way to pay for a work. And it's by far, the most unfair.
