Yes they are. There is no difference in saying all knowlede should be free, and that we shouldn't pay people for their knowledge.
I guarnatee that the effects of illegal downloads is far greater than near zero effect. While someone who downloads 100 CDs of music a month wasn't going to buy all of them, they'd probably buy 5 or so. Even if it's just a loss of 5 CD sales per year for the average downloader we're talking about millions of dollars in lost revenue.
And yet another word from our sponsors
