Stop fooling yourselves. Piracy did seriously wound the music industry.

I'm not saying that it didn't. But you also have to recognize that the music industry betted against the Internet.

It took 10 years before I could easily pay for Internet delivered music. I'm not even saying that this is better than CDs, but they should at least have explored the possibilities. They deserved to go bust for all the mistakes they made the last 15-20 years.
