Wait, wasn’t the whole point of climate change that we use more resources than the ecosystem can replenish?

Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.
