For f*ck's sake, pay attention!
Yes, if I copy a CD that I could have bought, the artist in question loses out. BUT the money that I didn't spend on buying that CD will only end up being used to buy another CD, and so THAT artist will gain. If I had just bought the first CD, the second artist would have lost out instead. So one artist is going to lose out either way, so I may as well copy the CD.
Why are you finding this so difficult to understand?
