Are you sorry for the losses entertainment companies make to illegal downloads?

Just last night I was watching the new Sherlock Holmes movie and there was also an option to watch the latest mission impossible movie from the confines of my home free of cost!.These are movies that have recently been released and I think mission impossible is still to be released in many countries. I used to hear people talking about these sites where you could watch the lastest movies for free and used to think that it was a hoax however being at home over the holidays and bored as hell ,I decided to try one of these sites out (I wont call the sites here lol) Now it dawned on me that movie and music companies must be taking serious losses due to these seemingly illegal downloads however, I am not sure I feel sorry for them because I sometimes when I hear that mounts of monies that these companies make ,it seems that they were already overcharging us .I mean look at it,one cd costs up to fifteen dollar and some artist have sold millions of these units making many such artists almost instantaneos millionaires and the same goes for movies .Dont get me wrong I dont envy any of these artists their success nor will I undervalue thier intellectual capital but why is it that they get to make so much money while the average workers get paid pennies on the dollar .Why is it that their input is so highly valued when many persons do much harder phyiscal and mentally draining work get paid much less . Just asking some questions here but I owuld love your take on it !
