The editorialist claims that unauthorized music-sharing services are not responsible for depriving musicians of their deserved earnings because other parties also take a cut of the musicians’ earnings.

The argument is flawed because it only shows that other parties (record companies, publishers, managers, etc.) are also responsible for taking money from musicians, but never actually absolves unauthorized sharing services of blame. It’s still entirely possible that these sharing services, like the other parties mentioned, are robbing musicians.

This describes how the argument fails to prove that sharing services are not responsible for taking musicians’ earnings, but instead only provides evidence that others are responsible as well.

The argument does not attempt to promote any behavior; it only claims that these sharing services are not responsible for taking musicians’ earnings.

The argument never makes a personal attack on the character of the professional musicians in question. It mistakenly points to other guilty parties in an attempt to absolve music-sharing services of responsibility.

The argument does not point to any consequence of believing that music-sharing services rob musicians of royalties; it only claims that those services are not to blame.

The argument does not establish any requirement for being blameworthy. Further, the argument claims that what these services do is not sufficient to consider them blameworthy.
