Capitalism increases production by creating artificial scarcity, which forces most everyone to work desperately hard to compete for what has been made scarce.

Artificial scarcity of material things reduces the supply, but even without artificial scarcity those things are not totally abundant.

Forbidding the sharing of copyable works is the ultimate instance of artificial scarcity, since it makes something scarce which would otherwise be available without practical limit.
