I'm not surprised by any of this. The smarter artists and smarter publishers are adapting their livelihoods to the new model. It will be harder in the future to make a living from content, so they have to find another way. That other way isn't ever more draconian laws.
I'm also not surprised at the self-serving motivation of TorrentFreak drawing attention to a survey that excuses their activities under the legal doctrine of "no blood, no foul."
