As a content creator (I have registered copyrights and potential patents) *I* am very sure about it.

And you're making the common error of confusing the content with the conveyor. The value in the CD is not the material-- it's the magic in it.

If I make 100,000 boxed copies of a software product, is it okay for you to walk into a store and steal one?

If I decide to use the internet instead of boxes and CDs as my converyer (virtual packaging and distribution), and release 100,000 units as 100% digital instead, is it okay for you to download one without paying?

Those failing to see the equivalence are suffering a severe logic breakdown, and relying on rank rationalization to defend wrongful behavior. You're not buying the content-- you're paying for the right to USE it.
