The speech/article Courtney Love Does the Math is an excellent look at music piracy from a musician's point of view and why most artists aren't anti-piracy. Beyond that, University of Colorado professor Lynn Schofield Clark did a study a couple years ago on how the music industry percieves piracy which included major labels, indie labels, musicians, retail workers and all walks of people in the music industry. I'm not sure if music piracy is what you're interested in disucssing, but both these resources are good ways to start a discussion in general.
