BS, because even if the person distributing the work is not making money, the person who CREATED the work is still LOSING money, therefore still able to sue.

I think you WISH things were the way you say it is, but perhaps you should ask a lawyer instead of assuming.
No, here's what he's actually saying.

You write a book. I buy a copy of the book. My friend who lives next door buys a copy of your book. His copy of the book, that he paid for, is accidentally destroyed. I let him make a photocopy of my copy of the book.

How are you losing money?
