   If a bull escapes a field and causes damage in the village, the farmer pays for the damages and is liable. It's been like that for hundreds of years and I don't see how this is any different?

      What damages were caused here that would need reparation exactly?

         What damages are caused at the moment in time a human downloads a file they weren't supposed to have access to? That's apparently enough to send people to jail for a long time.
