Because they can get it for free on TV, radio, myspace, youtube, internet radio, VidZone, and a multitude of other sources which don't require piracy. Add that to the increase in competition for your disposable income and all that music is now competing against movies, ISP fees, smartphone data plans, cable TV, TV on demand, netflix, video games, xbox live, DVDs, Blu-ray, online shopping, books, magazines, Steam, WOW, and, of course, live gigs.
If someone can go to the youtube channel of their favourite artist's label and watch the latest single any time they want, why would they go out of their way to pay for it when they can put that money towards something else?
