In the old days (e.g. before the rise of mass publishing) authors & printers were terrified that libraries would put them out of business. Instead it whetted the public's appetite for books and the result is what we see today. Apparently in 1800 there were only ~80000 serious readers in England; in 1850 the number were ~5 million. Source: Copyright chapter of Ross Anderson's "Security Engineering", based a description in the book "Information Rules" by Shapiro and Varian. Not that this is *exactly* analogous to the media industry, but I think it's pretty close. There's no sign of decrease in people visiting the cinema or buying dvds, quite the opposite. I think the main people who suffer are those like Blockbuster. My opinion is that the personal use of information should not be covered by copyright law---it certainly never was historically. Selling copyrighted material for a profit is another matter. The correct answer is: they did.

How is that not analogous to a musicians work being shared on the internet? Because book publishers have deals with libraries. And libraries make not millions of dollars. Internet dealers (of various kind, incl. the Russian mafia) have no deals with music publishers or musicians, or labels, and they do make millions of dollars.
