I think you have have misunderstood me. I said that unless there was a legal system in place to allow drug companies to be reimbursed for their costs, no company would be willing to spend the huge amount of money it takes to create a new drug, and that to manufacture a drug illegally is therefore both morally and legally "wrong".

You've previously argued in support of the idea - that end users shouldn't pay (with regard to the NHS).

Yes, I do indeed believe that the healthcare system should be funded by the state, just as I'm strongly in favour of a state-funded library system. However, a library system is very different to giving everyone unlimited "personal" copies of eBooks.
