Not exactly.  ;D  My downloads tend to be of music I know to be otherwise unavailable.  If there's a choice between buying a commercial recording of Arnold Cooke's 5th symphony and downloading a copy of Arnold Cooke's 5th symphony, it's a no brainer.

I hope this is not starting to sound too sanctimonious.  Sound quality has at least as much to do with it as morality.  But generally speaking if I'm interested in a composer, I will seek out whatever commercial recordings are available before hitting the download circuit.  And yes, if the download is worth keeping, it's worth replacing as soon as a commercial recording becomes available.
