Here's my take on music piracy: for every 100 or so people who download my music from Mininova (I put it there myself), there's 1 or 2 who'll gladly give me money. You can probably guess which are the ones I care about...

The Nine Inch Nails understand this even better than I do, giving away their latest music for free and at the same time selling out their limited run of 2500 special edition boxes for $300 a piece.

In short, I think your attention should focus on those who do want to pay for your music (including radio stations, tv/movie licenses, etc).
