File sharing has lots of negative unintended consequences that goes well beyond just dollars and cents. How do you arrive at this conclusion, starting from an Iranian Exile who has sold out shows because people made black market copies of his songs (= file sharing)? File sharing can have positive unintended consequences too. I've sold CDs in Australia because of it! Folk like Jonathan Coulton and Brad Sucks have made a career starting with music that spread through file sharing. Yes, it would be bad if everybody snuck into a concert, but that is a preposterous "what if" scenario that would never happen. If I had booked a show, sold only a few tickets and then had a thousand people show up, I would notice! In practice, I'd be really surprised if you made it past the bouncers (present at each and every venue I've ever been at).
