Artists That Have Stopped Producing Because Of Illegal File Sharing
I'm doing a paper on illegal file sharing and I was wondering if there were any EDM artists that have stopped producing songs because of not getting royalties. Any potential superstars struck down by Limewire and Kazaa? Thanks ahead of time.

DJs and producers didn't become famous with bootleg mixtapes, and file sharing.

When did I say that they did?
Anyway, I know there are producers such as J00F who are quite vocal about file sharing negatively affecting the community, but are there any producers that have actually stopped producing for this reason?

This genre wouldn't exist without file sharing.

You mean Kraftwerk, Sasha & Digweed, Oakie, Brian Eno, BT, Underworld, etc. would never have existed had it not been for something that was invented ten, maybe twelve years after they began spinning or producing?

No, he means the whole post-90s rise of the superstar DJ as an event attraction all by himself would not exist in any noticeable capacity if it weren't for file-sharing.
And he's right.
