I think it would serve artist's more if they would tackle the main cause of the problem and demand that their representatives and producers change the way they do things, rather than make futile and disenchanting attacks on the symptoms.
Of course not every artist attacks and discredits filesharing so dont be fooled into thinking so people.

Every single peer of mine feels more or less the same way. I do have a wide circle of music friends and aquaintances (at least three hundred odd are musicians) and work every day with professional musicians of the same opinion.
"Don't be fooled" into thinking artists support you stealing their work. does an old woman appreciate you mugging her after she's been robbed?
As for the "outdated business model" what is outdated is internet law - which you can bet the movie world will be pushing to change if DVD rippers make movie theft as common as mp3 theft. Mark my words, that will be changed.
As for "representatives and producers" I'm not sure what you mean. In the music industry a producer is part of the creative process in making the music. I have produced records. Producers are usually musicians/writers themselves. An artist may produce themself. The record producer is simply the person responsible for how the record sounds. Like the director on a film.
What is flawed about that process pray tell?
