Other potential pluses:
1) Legality
2) Morality
Not to start everybody's least favorite music-related internet war all over again, but what you just said, from a certain point of view, is like saying "I just think it's crazy to not shoplift when you know (somehow) that you're 99% certain to get away with it." There's still that 1% chance you'll get arrested or fined, plus you may just think it's wrong.
Me, I prefer to buy physical copies of most of the music I consume, but I do maintain a subscription to emusic also, for the reasons above. I certainly know how to search blogs or install Soulseek/bittorrent.
