It's notable how this attitude can only exist in a scenario where the art itself has no real-world value and the stakes don't matter. It's easy to dismiss "right-clickers" if you aren't losing any money from them. But anyone who owns digital media that _is_ valuable doesn't think like this at all.
For example, consider a musician losing their income because their fans are pirating their mp3s. The musician would never dismiss that by saying, "those right-clickers will never have the satisfaction that I do of owning the original copyright!" As we all know from the past twenty years, they take the exact opposite approach.
When you have something actually valuable, then owning it in a legal sense doesn't mean much if anyone can just copy it.
