No. Even if the cost of making a copy is trivial, someone still needs

to make the original first and that may not be trivial. This is true

even of many physical goods. Or do you think that the marginal cost of

producing one more car, PC, etc. reflects the true cost ? 
The fact that doing something (e.g. making a copy) is easy or cheap is

completely irrelevant in determining if it should be allowed. For your

average 120 kg body-builder it's easy and cheap to bully his way around

and make people do whatever he wants. 'Violence wants to be free.' Is

that a reason to allow it ?
