I don't think you understood my point. If Switzerland's economy financed movies and depended on the revenue from those movies to employ people, their government would have a different view of people downloading free movies and music. It is a different aspect of intellectual property rights, but the argument is the same in both cases.

We would remain, however, the most technologically advanced nation. Plus, GDP per capita would remain far higher. The majority of economists consider GDP per capita the most important thing when determining the wealth of a nation.
