when the fair use right of timeshifting was established, vcr did give you tv shows for free. You could watch a tv show when you wanted how you wanted, you could skip the commercials (paid) and avoid the reruns.
It was only when the vcr was made legal did the movie industry start selling movies for home use. (making money from the technology)

actually average artist income has increased, it the record companies who take 90% of money that have lost money.
That being said, we are still in the pre-fair use stage of the technology. It is not being embraced or leveraged by anyone yet.
Once that happens everyone will make way more money.
