Because pirating music (and software) - deprives the original artiste(s) of income ! Musicians get a percentage from every CD sold. Programmers get a cut of every copy of their program sold. This is because the stores have a contract with the musician's (or programmer's) publicity company. Pirating CDs prevents that income from being given to the musician. Think about how YOU would feel - if your main in come was earned by making something to sell - only to find someone was giving away some of your produce for free ! Music & software piracy is THEFT - pure and simple !
