I dunno about insightful, but i think its kinda obvious 
(i am an ex muso) .. the crux being that the current 'average' artists
makes next to nothing from the current setup anyway... only a handful of
established stars actually make significant money, and they can be
ignored as a stastical anomoly ;)

its the record companies doing the crying over filesharing by and large,
any artist who cant be bothered playing for their money is no artist by
my count.
