I remember one artist in an early episode of TWiT commenting how he was sued by his record label for saying anything about the matter (probably because he supported file-sharing) I think part of the reason why artists have been absent in the file-sharing debate is partially because of pressure from the record labels to not say anything.

It's obvious like the quote said the small ones love it because it boosts their fan ba<x>se so they can tour and have people pay good money for their concert the big ones hate it because they like being lazy and have money come in for doing nothing. still 38% is not that much that’s a little more than 1 in 3.

And Jay read a question that his writers gave him regarding Will's listening of MP3s. And apparently Jay (or more likely his writers) knew enough to ask "are you just sitting there all day downloading individual songs?" (this was in the Kazaa era where you had to basically do just that). The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was quick to correct him saying "no I rip the MP3s from my CD collection". He was clearly concerned that his masters at Columbia Records would not be happy with any admission to file sharing. Obviously he was not ripping his own CDs. An underling was clearly put in charge of that. But Im sure said underling took the easier route and downloaded everything.
