Well, just an anecdotal evidence of me trying to buy music recently (for quite a while already just listening to car radio, used to buy a CD or two every 3 month earlier):
Moody's Bodyrock - could only be bought as an album (no thanks)
Kara Remembers from BSG OST - only available in US or on iTunes (no thanks)

The thing that strikes most in the whole "oh, piracy" hysteria is the fact that despite most share of the profit would end in a couple of pockets (like that of Tom Hanks, getting 50'000'000 for a single movie) they would still claim it somehow affects "little guys". Well no, it won't. They'll outsource if they can. Some directors, like that of Transformers, would say no to a small part of their income, to keep old teams of little guys. Others would not.
Huge margins, unevenly split profits - greedy and ugly. Don't feel for ya!
