In the case that the IP, and thus the financial benefit, is not owned by an individual, but owned by a large corporation, as with your example, what does the individual care whether or not the IP is infringed? They don't. In this case democratizing the IP is more likely a social / economic benefit, not a harm. We're talking about intellectual property rights, the benefits of which only go to the intellectual property holder. Although how big a corporation has to be before we cross the line from social / economic harm to social / economic good is an interesting question.
