How many of those ripped CDs would you have *bought*?

No dispute: ripping those CDs is illegal. We're told it's illegal because its theft, i.e. you're stealing the profit of the music publisher and the royalty of the artist.

But if you would not have paid for the disc, ripped library copy represents no loss for the publisher or artist. So is it, in reality, theft?
