I don't see how piracy made or accounts for this growth or how that study proves that either. I know the MPPA or however claims movie/music is down for that has been proven false many times over now.
We can easily identify technology that has allowed music to be produced cheaper, self produced, self distributed, more direct profits can easily be made... just like anything attached to technology, it has grown in the last 15 years and if you're 'the person' attached to it, you grow with it.
If anything, that article shows how digital technology / other technology can help industries grow - it doesn't support a piracy argument at all.
