Not Comics: Question About Music Piracy Discussions

I'm music-impaired, so I didn't follow the various discussions about Internet-based piracy of music back when such discussions seemed to be everywhere. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) I remember being told that the music industry was so corrupt and the deals given musicians so rotten that taking the music wasn't a bad thing the way it would be if everyone had ethical contracts. Here's my question: did anyone, as part of that critique, ever quantify just how little a band or musician made from the sale of an individual CD? Like "I can't support a system where a band only makes 43 cents from a $12 CD" or something similar? I'd love a link or a knowledgeable e-mail. I'm way more interested in the shape of that argument as it developed at that time than actually re-hashing the argument with anyone.
