I see what they are saying but I think they gloss over a very important fact...the musicians are making an economic decision to take a payout from the RIAA rather than be exposed to all the risk that comes with trying to produce and distribute themselves. There really is no reason why a musician could not do a reasonable local distribution themselves. However, if they want a shot at the big dollars then the RIAA is the way to go.
Musicians cannot have it both ways, they can't make millions and minimize financial risk at the same time.
File sharing has nothing to do with helping musicians as you have suggested, and I don't think that the downhill battle site says that either. File sharing is just an example of mob behavior, a large group of otherwise intelligent people doing a stupid thing.
