Supposed someone stole your motorcycle. Would that be OK?

Illegal downloading is stealing someone else's property. There is no difference. Supposed you worked on a book, movie or App for a smartphone, would you want to be paid for your effort, or would you give it away for free?

Please tell me what the difference is.

Now back to reality....
Lets restate the "what if someone stole your property argument" to something to what it really is

Supposed someone made a copy of your motorcycle. Would that be OK?

Lets look at it from another perspective.

Supposed you spent a century building up a business model that sold replicas of original performances and then someone came along and offered it for free. would that be OK

And next.....

"What if someone paid you to make copies of something that you made and someone else comes along and gives away copies for free?"

Now lets look at the point of copyright.
To ensure that original authors have control over the distribution of their work.

I think Paul about covered it.

Speaking of motorcycles, you ride what? Or are you just here to troll?

You dont take away from them. They just dont make money. No one is hacking into their bank accounts and actually taking money away.
