The alternative would be paying for the published music, where I'm sure the songwriter gets a royalty.

They do, however getting published sheet music for many non top-40 bands is very hard. That's where I think the ban is wrong, if you have a published thing then sure, getting it for free can hurt the label (not so much the artist), but if there is no published one getting it for free is proably not harmful.

Ona related topic, Some canadian independent labels and artists have ledt the CRIA and formed a new group with a different outlook on sharing and Digital Rights Management. Some bands I really like this support this: Broken Social Scene, Wolf Parade, The New Pornographers and Metric.

For the record: I disagree with both people who simply download albums nad never buy them (simple theft to me) and Major Label policies.
