Is Music Killing Piracy?

Odd that it doesn't mention Youtube or things like vinyl growing http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4334591 or even things like NPR and Soundcloud full-album streams, meaning that there is constantly music to listen to, so why buy something if you can just keep flicking from one tab to another (or 'compulsive listening' as Stephen Godfroy from Rough Trade Shops dubbed it http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/12/stephen-godfroy-compulsive-listening-disorder )

Tempted to write a 'thing' about this expanding on these thoughts but was wondering what has changed your downloading habits? It can't be as simple as google autocomplete changing, can it? Or maybe it's just Adele's sales burying a 'problem'?
