Well, I happen to think the law is correct and logical in this case.  My
creations are my property, and I should have the same right to make a
living by selling them as a sculptor or a baker or a carpenter does.
Copying my creations without my permission denies me the right to make a
living by selling my creations, in exactly the same way that theft
deprives a maker of physical objects of that right.
