@trailer:

bringing one of the largest US industries on its knees

did not happen, they are still having record sales and have partially adjusted by offering/selling digital downloads, not to mention the number of intrusive actions they were and still are able to do on a massive worldwide scale (like high-level legal lobbying, extortion schemes, international pressure, obscene lawsuits, intact monopoly on many levels, propaganda, etc.)

turning an entire generation of kids into an electronic hezbollah

what kids? filesharing spans multiple generations, also they are not a united militant/terrorist group, this is a ridiculous comparison

people have a choice

no, individuals have multiple choices (like: download or don't, buy or don't, listen or don't, support or don't,..., do some combination of the aforementioned or don't), people can share opinions and choose similarly or differently - it is obvious that millions upon millions have chosen filesharing as a convenient & useful method of getting their (daily) dosage of entertainment - that has to be accepted as a strong user standpoint and accordingly acknowledged as legally acceptable

notice the fraudulent music industry decline graph, thats whats going to stick in the viewers mind (where is the opposing research, they forgot to include it in the video?!)
vh1 as unbiased researchers/presenters? don't think so
seems this story is getting a leftist media spin: 'bringing down the industry' (capitalism) by the people's revolution (socialism/communism), whereas its about being able to freely & anonymously share/exchange digital files regardless of their copyright status, ie. a matter of personal freedom/liberties

and its not a revolution, its a continuation of previous habits, translated onto a digital platform
