I would argue that.  I am 100% certainly *not* going to buy a CD from an
artist I don't know.  So in my case, file sharing is actually much
*more* likely to earn them a sale.  If I can listen to a CD for a very
low price (e.g. 15 cents/track at http://gomusic.ru or free via p2p) and
then I like it, I go buy it.  So the argument could be made that
file-sharing is actually a win for the artists in my case.
