About your second statement you're wrong because:
 * 1) A free download software doesn't mean the publisher doesn't get any profit, as there exists other mechanism in which the publisher can make cash despite not charging any price for download its content (advertisement, sponsorship, number of visits/download, etc)
 * 2) You're defining fair use incorrectly. Indeed, what are you saying is against the 4th criterion usually used for determine fair use: 4) "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work".
