You are comparing removing a physical object from a person to copying some data onto a flash drive.

Do you want to be the kind of guy that gets a portrait commissioned of yourself, get a watermarked preview version, then balks at the price the artist asks for, reject the work, refuse to pay the artist, AND THEN use the watermarked preview version for your profile picture anyway?

A better analogy would be if I printed out a copy of a painting I like.

I don't control which games Nintendo makes. If I did, we'd have a sequel to Majora's Mask and Mario Galaxy 3.

Are you saying that the data has no value just because you can’t touch it?

If it had no value then no one would want it.
