Can you explain how copyright issues would affect someone's ability to pay their bills from performance? I would have thought that the main issue facing most virtuoso pianists in obscurity, something that file sharing would actually help to correct.

this is where the analogy ends.
Reminding the analogy was to bring to light the efforts one has to go to master high art/craft and that one should certainly be paid for it. It applies to copyrighted works that depend not on performance but took every bit as much effort and pains in the making but are prone to easy and cheap copying like as if the work costs nothing.
