Its called lost revenue. They are losing potential sales by people like yourself "stealing" the product. It pushes the price up for the more reputable members of society. Also less turnover will probably lead to new games not being developed as they are not profitable if people are not going to pay for them.
It may not hurt the owners IYO but it has repercussions on those that want Civ4!
the original owner is not going to lose anything as it is
