It's not what you as an individual might do that defines "the market" that pdeuchler refers to, it's how the majority of customers behave. If everybody was doing a lot of book scanning and freely sharing copies book publishers would have to find new business models or perish. If customers don't behave in a way that supports your business model, and you can't talk them into changing their behavior, you need to find a new business model.

This isn't complicated.
Perhaps the music industry does need a new business model. In fact, I'm pretty sure they do!
That does not give the people who disagree with their business model license to cheat the companies.
