A real artist would be happy that their music was getting out there and that people actually want to listen to them.
Copyright applies to all art, not just music. Far fewer people will be able to spend years of their lives writing novels if everybody stole their shit and told them they should be happy anybody read it. No one would sink millions of dollars into movies. What, Peter Jackson? You want to make a faithful cinematic recreation of a beloved book series? Good luck getting anyone to pay for it.
