I am not an artist, but my preference is that artist focus on making good art. Furthermore, I want to make it easy and straightforward for artists to get paid for their art. I don't want them to have to think up "new business models", develop " new income streams", or do any of the other nonsense that piracy enablers want them to do.
It's not about what pirates or anybody else wants artists to do. The fact is changes in the market place can sometimes render long established and once lucrative business models obsolete. Whether or not artists decide to think up new business models in face of that is up to them. A company that has the attitude that they shouldn't "have to think up new business models, develop new income streams" isn't a company I would want to work for or invest in, that's for sure.
