I'd argue the opportunities for digital distribution far outweigh the risky and extremely limited opportunities of traditional physical media. The smaller artist has a major lack of publicity muscle. Piracy can provide just that; on a potential scale almost completely inaccessible to unknown artists.

I work for a small record label, I understand the problem very well.
