Can you give me even one example of how music sharing has evidently dealt a serious blow to someones life?

It's their work. I had a link to an interview with like 25 bands on downloading. They asked things like how much of your music do you think is illegal and what do you think of it. And ALL of them said it was bad for them. Hell, some are even doing another job next to making music cause they have to live while if all their albums were sold legally they would only have to care about making music and they could live of that income. I can't find the thing now and I don't recall anymore if it was in English or in Dutch.
The singer of one of my favourite bands had a quote on this. It was something like "The inventor of the internet is a f*ing idiot" in response to a question about the internet and filesharing.
