This idea of "harm" is actually a really big issue in many current societies (at least Canada and United States) . There is no monetary value of "harm" unless there is a claim of financial loss. But those financial losses are often future presumed customers, the company essentially claims a right to future revenue. However if an injustice has been done to the customer the company rightfully should lose future revenue. I agree with you about ego driven revenge. But in fact to allow a bad actor to perpetuate is actually injustice and good people at lease care about, if not act to prevent, injustice. Just like (IANAL) most court items, the fact of the matters matters most, the intent is mostly about modifying the consequences. EDIT: this idea of "harm" is also what allows rights holders to go after Pirates by claiming that every download is a lost sale, which is clearly not true.
