Actually it's true in my opinion. Pirated music allows consumers to listen to a LOT more new music. When I download an MP3, it is rarely something that I 'know' I like and would have bought. Usually it's an experiment, I download a track or album of some new band. If I really like the album, I'll buy more of the bands work and go see them live if I have the chance.
A huge amount of downloaded pirated material isn't something the consumer would have bought, people download just to check things out also.
