Just because there is no variable cost for the seller, people don't feel bad about stealing digital IP. It really says something about human nature....that most people would commit crimes if there weren't people looking over their shoulders constantly. We aren't ready for a society without religion...we need the threat of hell to keep most people in line.
I bet they said the same thing about libraries and used book shops.
