I think in this digital age we live in, artists must find other ways to make up for the money lost due to piracy. For example more touring or other types of merch. I also feel that if I like an artist and download some of their tunes, I will share it with my friends, turning one fan into multiple. As a result when that artist comes to town and myself and those I have turned on to them go se em they will have sold more tickets and merch at the show than the may have previously.
