If the "market" is defined by the consumers, then it changed long ago when media became freely distributable online and CD sales were eclipsed by digital online sales. The only part of the equation that's behind is the big labels. Even the most conservative musicians have adopted some form of online retail.
I don't think I've ever advocated theft, but I am a huge proponent of New Media and the inherent shift in monetization. Those who are going to succeed are going to be those who flexibly adapt to the new paradigm.
