Reverse of broken window fallacy for file sharing/piracy Adult Swim roughly brings forward the following argument in the video 'film piracy feeds babies':


  While jobs may be lost in the movie or music industry, they might be created in another. Money that a pirate doesn’t spend on movies and songs is almost certain to be spent elsewhere. Let’s say it gets spent on skateboards — the same dollar lost by Sony Pictures may be gained by Alien Workshop, a company that makes skateboards. - Source


Is this the opposite of the broken window fallacy? 


If so, is it correct or still a fallacy (much like survivorship bias and its reverse)?
If not...is it right or wrong? (I guess its relationship to the broken window fallacy doesn't affect my second question)


I discovered such from answer in related question.
If I understand correctly, the claim is is:


  Proposition: Take a budget as given, and consider a world with two goods, $A$ and $B$. In the first scenario, the price of $A$ is positive, and the household spends $E_A$ on $A$, and nothing on $B$. In a second scenario, the price of $A$ is zero.The household will now spend the same amount $E_A$ on $B$.


How did this abstraction work? A represents the copyrighted work, B contains all other consumption goods. I don't think there is strong empirical evidence for or against the claim. So then, what does the theory say?

Neoclassical Theory

The rational agent under a general class of preferences does first decide his optimal consumption level given (permanent) income, and then decides how to allocate that consumption expenditure between different goods. For him, the answer would be Yes.

Caveats

However, what happens if we depart from the rationality assumption? Many weird things can happen. For example, instead of optimally choosing how much to save, the consumer could first decide, what he wants to consume, and then save the remainder. In this case, since he already has A "for free" he might be contempt with that, think that "having some B" is sufficient, and then save the remainder. In that case, it may very well be that the answer is No (or at least, not necessarily). Not all the money not spend on copyrighted material will be used for consumption on other goods.

There are many reasons to believe why the rationality assumption is not always giving us the full story, especially when you look at life-cycle consumption, saving rates and divergence of savings at retirement ages.
