You could apply the same logic to any economic activity.

You mean I can just take a book from a bookstore, depriving others of the chance to read it, and it's somehow "OK" because I paid money to some organization that might eventually use it to print another copy?

Not the same.

Stealing books from a bookshop - ILLEGAL.

Pumping CO2 into the air and contributing to the global ecosystem's destruction - LEGAL.
