Passage Summary: The author argues that free music-sharing sites aren't the problem for musicians' paychecks because the record labels are already taking too much of the money anyway.

Conclusion: Music-sharing services are not responsible for the fact that musicians are being deprived of their royalties.

Reasoning: Record companies and other industry intermediaries already take an unfairly large portion of the revenue generated from music sales.

Analysis: The editorialist is guilty of a 'Red Herring' or 'Exclusivity' flaw by assuming that only one entity can be responsible for the loss of royalties. Just because record companies are taking an 'inequitably large cut' does not mean that unauthorized sharing services aren't also causing a loss of income. The existence of one culprit does not automatically exonerate another. Look for an answer that highlights how the argument ignores the possibility that both factors could contribute to the problem simultaneously.
