I think, as with everything, there are way to many generalizations and these, as in politics, end up being completely unfair in some or many cases. For example, some people pirate everything with the excuse that the music industry does nothing for music and explores artists, true, but by pirating everything they're also harming a whlole lot of bands and artists that went for it in a really honest hard working way without help of the industry (like boy bands etc.).
