If someone swipes those same Harry Potter DVDs from the manufacturer, have they still stolen it? The cost to said manufacturer is negligible. If the thief leaves behind a few pennies as compensation, is it still stolen, or has it now been bought? The manufacturer has lost out on nothing at this point, yet someone ended up with a DVD for virtually free, and certainly far less than the asking price.

If I write an album, and find myself unable to sell it because everyone that might want it already has a copy they didn't pay for, has anyone wronged me? No one individually did any harm to me, and yet I've put in a lot of work for no gain besides some ephemeral popularity. This is an extreme example but it's the main motivator for opposing piracy, especially among smaller artists that can't tank the costs of lost sales.
