> These are the folks--the good, artist-supporting folks--who are being most hurt by piracy.

As much as I hate pirates, it isn't the pirates that killed the music industry.

Look at this thread. Most of the people here are not going to spend more than $100 per year on music. That's simply too small a pool for the number of artists that exist.

Think about these same people. They are willing to pay more than $100 for two video games.

Guess which industry is doing better?
