Feel free to show me an examples of bands that was forced to turn to other avenues of life because of pirated music and not because they failed to make successful music, develop their image, or change with popular culture.

It may be happening all the time, but I would expect the RIAA to be the first to bring up cases in which artists were conclusively being decimated by pirated music and not being decimated for only producing one song or producing only mediocre material.
