So get real, grow up, and realize that despite how much you think that the RIAA and the artistic world is a combination of the Nazi Third Reich, the Taliban and the Iraqi Baath Party, they are all looking to pay for the food on their table and they deserve a living too.

P2P isn't squeezing any artist dry of any money they would get from record sales, concerts, endorsements or whatever. The RIAA has no case regarding file trading making them lose money. As a matter of fact indy labels are getting a nice and steady increase in sales. Regading concert tours yes an artist with a large label will make tons more touring than they would on CD sales. Your milage may vary with indy labels as they tend to have a higher royalty rate for the artists and, as you said, touring venues may not be as profitable depending on the act.
