There is a lot of case law regarding digital media, such as movies, tv, books, etc, stating that the digital version doesn't lose value despite the ease of copying it.

It's an interesting conundrum that "big business" claims that personal data being copied doesn't necessarily have value, but entertaining data does.

It all makes sense if you accept that the purpose of modern intellectual property law is to protect the wealth of the rich from the people they exploited to get rich in the first place.
