Some argue that file sharing is actually good for artists, because it is in effect promoting their work . . .
[However,] when recorded music is not paid for, there are clear and obvious implications for those who create the music—songwriters, performers and the record companies that make the actual sound recording. Consequently, since the rewards to production of music has gone down, it would seem reasonable to conjecture that the result will be less music, and less diversity of music, in the future. At a minimum, the possibility of recording artists and songwriters earning a living from selling their music is diminished. It is difficult to compete with “free”.
