No worries, however I think the bootleg tape concept has been discussed before. The problem with digital bootlegging is the scale at which it occurs. Physical bootlegging is naturally self-limiting.

I agree that society and law should be dynamic, but from the statements in this thread, I'm not sure what you and yoav are arguing the laws should be changed to. How can a market for digital content exist, under the premise that the digital content is the marketing, and the t-shirt or concert ticket is the actual product?
