![]() The only real question, then, is whether individual artists will respond constructively by making material available to their fans(see live recordings by Richard Thompson on BeesWeb and by Graham Parker on both his site on eMusic). Sharing electronic files is simply too easy and anonymous to be squelched effectively, and there will always be some people who will go to great lengths to get stuff for free. That said, I think many artists are being short-sighted and disastrously slow to adapt to the new reality that their product is going to get out. As a matter of principle I don't download commercial releases I don't already own, and I don't frequent sites offering commercially available material.
