Doubt its the downloading. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) released The Slip completely free, yet he still makes money via shows.
As far as why he's losing money, I have this theory:
1) His fans from when he was rapcore are gone because he went soft and went to country music. Alot of them do not want anything to do with him because his new stuff is country.
2) His current country target crowd isn't accepting him due to his earlier career... they don't view him as pure enough to warrant their listening since he had created "Satan's music" earlier on in his career. You cannot really pull off being a badass in country much unless you're either Cash or Hank Williams Jr.
