But if you are 'just making a copy' then you dont need to buy it, therefore taking away a sale from the artist. So while you haven't taken anything physically you've still taken.
I don't really think artists should be told they shouldnt be in it for the money, i'm pretty sure the bands i see down the local pub already know that and don't get paid for alot of the time they spend already but the small amount it costs to buy their music isnt really such a hardship on the consumer. It's a shame we just expect great music to be made available to us. Easy to not think about the effect it has, kinda the i'm alright jack attitude.
