I don't know if you guys are at all familiar with the comedian Louis CK, but he has recently decided to put out all of his media independently on his personal website. I think off of his first special he charged like $5 for a set over an hour in length and made close to $6 million off of it. If most bands did that I'm sure the music industry losses would be greatly reduced. I do agree that part of the problem is that there isn't a face to associate the theft with. Just a CEO somewhere.
And let's not act like these musicians are starving to death. Record sales are just a single facet of a musician's income. Concerts, merchandise, television appearances and radio royalties still make these people more money than we will see in our lifetimes.
