Yes, piracy hurts artists who have made millions of dollars with their music. Can they afford to lose some? Well, it's not really my place to say, nor is it that of anyone else. But most creators are people we've never heard of, and we're less likely to hear of them if they're driven out of the business by a lack of respect for their property. It's true in the United States. It's true in Europe, where I just attended Midem. And it's true in Ghana.
