I think the fact that music is so easy to get for free makes it difficult to assess what value people would place on it if that outlet wasn't there. Surely some portion of the pirates would pay for the music they're torrenting if it wasn't available for free.

The specific reasons for how people place value on music aren't hugely relevant; all that should matter for the label in most cases is maximising the total revenue (as for digital downloads the marginal cost is irrelevant).
