Chrysalis's point was that there are people who can't afford to buy content. So, they would never have bought what they might download. Therefore it's not a lost sale. If they couldn't download it, they'd go without it.

Obviously, there is also the fact that people download stuff in order to see if they like it (and might buy it if they do), but decide it's pants. Either way, it's fallacious to claim every download is a lost sale.
