well actually it is a lot worse, not getting their share of the settlements mean they are still not getting paid for their work, AND they are losing the branding/ exposure of their music that they would be getting if people shared it freely.
If i were not going to get paid for my work, i would want as many people as possible to hear my music so maybe some of them would turn into fans who would buy tickets to see me live.
