Sure pop stars are, but there are hundreds of thousands of artists who aren't signed to big labels.

I really don't care one way or the other about any artist who plays on the radio. I want to ensure the artists I listen to are able to continue making music, therefore I buy their music.

Do you really think there are artists out there that would be paid a decent living wage, were it not for piracy?
