Yes. This generation invented sneaking into shows, movies and concerts. I'm sure your generation would never dream of doing that, or recording tv onto a VHS tape or the radio onto a cassette.
Also, if you think the artist is hurt by illegal downloads you are misinformed. They make the VAST majority of their money from live shows. They always have. It's the record companies, the middle man, that is trying to fight piracy but again, don't be fooled if you think they are actually hurting. The smart ones have realized that there is no money in selling music and have started taking a cut of their acts revenues from live shows and this cost is paid by you when you buy tickets.
Everyone is making money still. The record companies are just trying to continue to double dip and are scared because technology has allowed people to circumvent this.
