I was thinking more that it's easier for bands to record and sell their own music, on a small scale at least without involving anyone else - seems pretty punk to me.
I do think that people deserve to get paid for their work so I don't think free music is a right but illegal downloading presumably hurts the most commercially successful bands most, not something that weighs heavily on punk bands.
I also have to mention that you seem pretty prescriptive in what instruments 'should' be used - I don't get this at all - if it sounds like punk I don't care what they use.
