This is a dishonest analogy. In your example, there is only a limited amount of cookies available. While there is no practical limit on the amount of time a certain digital media can be viewed.

You are allowed to take one cookie. But you are allowed to view a public website multiple times if you so want.

There sure is a limit in the load that the server you're DDoSing can take or the will for people to post new worthy content in public. The supply is limited just not at the first degree. Let's make a small edit: Are you allowed to take all the cookies and then sell them with a small ribbon with your name on it ?
Their is no arguing with pirates. They’ll take what’s yours and forget about you while you tend to the ashes.
