Aside from it just being a good story in and of itself, I think Pixar made WALL-E as a warning. They were trying to tell people exactly what you just said. It's sad that no one is really listening. As for myself, aside from computer software (which I've done exactly once), I never pay for digital downloads of anything. If I can't purchase a physical copy, I either don't get it or I find someplace to download it for free. And whenever possible, I make a point of going to brick and mortar stores to buy what I'm looking for. I refuse to contribute to the digitization of our culture any more than I absolutely have to.
