Fans might be older but they aren't that old where they cant navigate a computer.
The reason why bands are now putting full albums under their main youtube accounts is for that very reason. When you share files it stops those people from going onto YouTube Or Spotify to listen.
And maybe the impact isn't as sever as you think but it obviously doesn't help the situation either... This is what stops Box Sets and Special Editions.
There is no way a band like Savage Garden who have a fraction of the fans Bon Jovi has, who also have zero mainstream promo and haven't done anything of any relevance since the mid 90s are beating them in sales.

You're arguing something that isn't even being argued. Savage Garden aren't the act people are talking about.
Nearing 6 Million Youtube views and released October 2nd
Limitless was released 7 months ago and is only now cracking 3.5 million.
The band missed their chance to be relevant online and had every opportunity to do so. They'd get close and then back off entirely. The band's relevance in pop culture is the problem, not the literal handful of fans downloading the album a day before release. If it effected numbers, and it probably did, you're looking at the low thousands maybe?
