When downloading material is as easy as breathing the air, a law making it allegedly illegal is like making it illegal to breathe “someone else’s” air.

At the beginning of the recording industry the means of production and distribution were expensive. Recording studios invested a lot of money, and got a return on their investment.
Now that anybody with a PC and Cakewalk can produce the same quality product and distribute it for free, that business model no longer applies.
The money isn't going to the artists, anyway. It goes to the RIAA and big corporations.
