We could get Stevie in court and say to her that now people just download what they can't buy. If that case could be made, then that means they should put out more music and the excuse that "there's no need to record since they steal it anyway" would fly out the window.

Which is what I assume is why the surviving Beatles release EVERYTHING these days. A live album from every tour, "deluxe versions" of albums including as bonus tracks probably most of the unreleased songs that were recorded during their sessions, DVDs of every tour, etc. Just to attempt to be one step ahead of bootleggers.
