That's the big mistake you make. More recorded music is being CONSUMED than ever before: but the makers of recorded music are making LESS REVENUE than ever, because of illegal filesharing.
The musician whose song is illegally uploaded and played on youtube isn't making a dime from that and thus doesn't have the incentive or the resources to make more music.
