More people listen to your music = Fans at your show. Artists make MOST of their income by touring.
I think the issue is one of "choice of the creator"; torrents helped you but they don't
help Madonna/Prince/Britney Spears etc... They are just losing sales/money that they
can make through MTV and radio.

There wouldn't be an issue if the artist could decided if they wanted their music on it
or not. Some would do it and some would not.
Simple matter of "let me control my own stuff please".
