I suppose we should just start throwing people "likely" to do crimes in prison preemptively!? That's not how anything else works. Why would it work like that here?

Likely?

The second you illegally download copyrighted content you're committing a crime. The fact that you intend to potentially buy it at a later date doesn't matter, just like you can't leave a store with a TV and tell them "Don't worry, I promise I'll be back in two years to pay for it!"
