Doesn't turn it on its head, in fact, supports my point. Copying your identity info doesnt hurt you in any way. Using that ID for commerce does.
Copying a movie you'd truly never pay for doesn't hurt. Reselling your copy does.
Making a copy uses resources and work. Copying a Land Rover would cost you more than buying a new one. Mass production and distribution lowers the price enough you can buy it cheaper than you can make it.
Studios should be thinking the same way, realizing that people will pay for convenience. To get paid more, make it more convenient. Just look through these comments to see how much "piracy" is actually about convenience.
