despite the (debatable) effects of piracy, the music industry is larger than ever:

More revenue, more total sales...the biggest change is that people buy a lot more singles now because they've realized that most albums are 2 good singles with 8-12 songs of filler.
Video games, film, TV and books are also substantially bigger than ever despite the so-called crippling effects of piracy. Really, I wish I should be so lucky as these schmoes.
