Some possible simple answers are:
1) You go against the artist's wishes.
2) You potentially encourage or enable others to do the same, with no guarantee that they will have the same moral standpoint as you and may not purchase the final product.
3) You dispel/deflate the mystery and hype that surrounds a release, which may in turn harm sales (though thats a bit vague).
4) You make Devin sigh!
5) You pre-judge the album without seeing the complete package (intended quality/mix of audio, artwork, lyrics, notes and extras). Perhaps similar to only seeing one side of the argument in a courtroom.
6) You make the HDF moderators very sad. I cry into my mango every night!The more digital/illegal copies of the album exist, the more people on release day there will be that have not yet bought the album. At this point, we are unable to tell if any one of these people ever intend to buy the album.
9) The more people who download the album illegally, the less people on release that are eager to buy the album. Less eager = less desperate = less good. Some people may not bother to buy the album due to a severe lack of eagerness. This would smelly.
10) I can't think of any more, but there may be some.
See, that's at least 10 excellent points! I suppose that ultimately things will be ok, provided that you do infact buy the finished product.
The world may not totally crack in half...but just a bit.
