Drain on the economy how much again?

The Google search http://www.google.com/search?q=music+piracy+economy
returns results about claims of piracy "robs the United States of $12.5 billion in economic output and more than 71000 jobs annually"

Extending that logic, public libraries, food pantries, and Freecycle must be robbing the United States of a lot of money, er, make that "economic output and jobs" too.
