To me, it comes down to the band. If they don't mind their song being traded, then they should have the right to open up their catalog to P2P trading. If they'd rather people buy their track either digitally or physically, then they should have that right too. This is, of course, skipping over any assignment of rights to the record labels or publishers (trying to keep it brief), but ultimately its their music. Let them use it as they see fit, don't make that decision for them.
