So, if there were ANY loss due to P2P or video sharing ( there isn't ) it would be EASILY offset by this exposure. The industry says that such exposure doesn't benefit them, that sharing supporters are dead wrong. That's one of the reasons they have to lie about people like this. 1. Acknowledging that they use the media they decry for the purposes of promotion, shows that they KNOW full well the benefits. They would have to acknowledge that we were right all along. And if we are right about this, what ELSE might we be right about ? 2. The hatred of the industry is such that a new ' artist' might be dead out of the door due to customer backlash, so they create a nice , fictional 'Cinderella Story' to endear their new servant to the customer. They don't know art or music, but they sure as hell know MARKETING. Most supporters of P2P and video sites like Youtube, etc, have been saying,
