You make a good point when you say that money is required in this world and because of this artists should be rewarded for their fruits of labour.  While I agree with that as being true to our society, there is still radio coverage which they are paid for every time their song is played, as well as concerts and other ways to make money with their music.  People seem to be so concerned for the artists and producers in the music industry and while they should be rewarded for their efforts, we cannot deny that the ones who become popular, whose music is most pirated, are still making millions through various different means.  When music is pirated people are not stealing it and claiming it as their own, they are appreciating the song and the easiness it takes to download it online.  In this day in age I really cannot see piracy online changing so I feel as though it is irrelevant to say they 'should' be making money of the songs that are pirated, because they aren't and will continue to lose money because people will continue to download music for free.
