But you are still wrong. It not because it is bigger at all, it is because the ability to make perfect copies is simple and easy. If you could make a perfect (or reasonable) copy of a paper book the analogy would be the same, but you can't so it breaks down.
My point with this as always is that digital copies of creations must be treated legally the same as physical copies of creations and the laws must change to protect them as property in the same way as physical entities. And be enforced as per the O.P. here.
