This is wrong.
As a business owner and individual that produces and makes a living off intellectual property such as books and videos, copying takes money from my family and business. A comment above stated it well copying does not hurt the consumer (although if they are aware, it hurts their integrity), it hurts the producer.
If done enough the incentive to produce new information or product diminishes and therefore all suffer.
I guess it entirely depends on the person. For example, if I couldn't listen to music for free, I would still never buy it. If I couldn't watch movies for free, I still wouldn't buy them. I value real things more than digital products, thus it wouldn't make much difference for me if I could copy them or not...
