The majority of people who illegally download music aren't going to start buying it simply because they might face a fine. They'll just find other ways to circumvent the laws.

Correct. When companies cry foul about losing sales to pirates, they technically aren't. Pirates aren't going to buy it anyways, so how can a company assume they had a sale with them in the first place?
Radiohead made 5 or so million from their completely free online album. Basically they said you pay what you think it's worth.
