I'm refering to a group you like. I just think we won't see quality music because music companies will begin to sign anyone to make a buck.

I usually listen to my XM in my car, or local country stations / a CD in my truck. dont really listen to music outside of driving and if I do its usually grooveshark. I dont really care either way towards pirating, doesnt impact me really.
I am saying that it probably doesnt make as big of an impact as you think. Like you said, most of the money comes from things other than CD/itunes. I have a ton of band/concert shirts and I bet they made more $ on those those than on all of my CDs. And the artist themselves gets a very small amount of $ from a CD sale anyways: producers, label, etc ......
And NIN still makes a bunch of mone and they release most of their stuff free on their website
