The main question is not about personal guilt but about funding the creative industries under the present system of private ownership.
For example the BBC in the UK has no problem because everyone with a TV has to pay a fee, then everyone has the product available.
If someone produces a creative work and it is copied and put all over the Internet for free the guy can't make a living or make the next work.
Remember that some of these creative works cost millions and employ whole industries.
If you want films, music etc for free then the state will have to raise massive amounts in levies or taxes to fund the creative industries.
