The comments here are mostly spot on - people realise that the music business is its own worst enemy. the massive amoutn of illegal downloading is part of the battle to revolutionise the music industry - I don't condone it, but I understand why it happens. Real music fans and savvy new bands are seeking legal alternatives, coming up from the roots and using the internet as a tool to promote music for free, and share financial rewards fairly. The bands in the know are using site like Sellaband, slicethenpie, and cherryecho.com to share their music and work towards getting paid for making it.
