Ed - I blame the artists for signing such bad contracts. I also think she means to be an advocate for the artist and beseeching the music companies to monetize file sharing, and instead she is used as the launching point (and oftentimes back then, the crux) of arguments defending or encouraging piracy. YOU WANNA TALK PIRACY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS THE PIRATE. PLEASE PAY YOUR NAPSTER BILL OR SOMETHING.
And to be fair, file sharing has hacked away a lot of jobs even in a world without piracy. It also has added jobs, though piracy doesn't really do much to contribute to that.
