You can't really argue that unauthorized streaming doesn't impact the entertainment industry negatively.

Yes you can.

Sales have fallen off a cliff since the internet got popular. You can throw up charts, etc., but they are clearly affected. The actual argument here should be: should they be affected. I think they should. If horse ranchers would have had the power the entertainment industry has they might have forced us to keep using horses to get around. We've obviously benefited by letting their market die.
