No, only that it's still possible for the individual to make a difference.

My feelings on this were mixed, but the deciding factor for me is that it's the Entertainment Industry that's behind it, and they (the music part anyway) is responsible for screwing artists out of more money than downloading ever will. They're upset that individuals are doing to them what they've done to musicians for decades. The 500-gallon pot is in this case calling the 1-cup kettle black.
