I would argue that. I am 100% certainly *not* going to buy a CD from an artist I don't know. So in my case, file sharing is actually much *more* likely to earn them a sale. If I can listen to a CD for a very low price (e.g. 15 cents/track at http://gomusic.ru or free via p2p) and then I like it, I go buy it. So the argument could be made that file-sharing is actually a win for the artists in my case.
