The music industry feared that home taping would cause a decline in record sales even though surveys then showed that the fans who bought the most music were also the ones who did a lot of taping.
The "Home Taping is Killing Music" mantra became extinct by the mid-80s when the record industry found salvation in the new CD format.
While the music industry is struggling to decide on the next technological platform to sell music, file sharing remains the only sensible way in maintaining the culture and ensuring that every generation of fans will still be around to love the art in whatever form it takes.

 Home Taping Is Killing Music, Kids - Message Board - ezboard.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
More music sharing would mean less profits for the "big 5", leading to more competition, leading to more diverse music.
Remember the biggest explosion of new music in recent years was the late 80s/early 90s, when independent labels started bringing out independent music.
It's maybe killing the label boss's ability to buy an eighth home in the Carribbean, but what's really killing music is this policy of marketing the high-cost, low-quality handful of identikit "artists" who pander only to pre-pubescent teenagers, rather than a more diverse portfolio of music ranges, styles and true artists.

 MP3s are killing home taping: the rise of Internet distribution and its challenge to the major label music monopoly [1] ...
The phrase "home taping is killing music"--a slogan invented and heavily promoted by major labels to combat the unauthorized duplication of music in the early-1980s--now sounds quaint after the rise of digital distribution.
That music monopoly, which has been in place for a century, was able to secure its dominance because it controlled the means of production--something that is no longer the case, because recording, production and distribution costs have radically dropped in price since the 1990s.
This essay sets aside many of the legal discourses and controversies surrounding the emergence of music file sharing to examine one important aspect of it--namely, the way it holds the potential to create an alternative means of music distribution for artists who are often marginalized by the mainstream music industry.

 Home Taping is Killing Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Home Taping is Killing Music" was the slogan of a 1980s anti-piracy campaign by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a British music industry trade group.
With the rise in cassette recorder popularity, the BPI feared that home taping would cause a decline in record sales.
Another example was the early 1980s counter-slogan Home Taping is Skill in Music, referring to early mix-tapes, in some ways a precursor to sampling and remixes.

 Lean Left: Don't Blame Napster
A good article on how the music industry's problems are a function of their own bad decisions and faulty regulatory decisions that lead to monopoly like conditions.
The international industry even had an outraged official slogan: "Home taping is killing music." The idea was that music fans—ingrates that they are—would rather pirate songs than pay for them, and that sharing favorite songs was a crime against hard-working musicians (rather than great word-of-mouth advertising).
Although usually termed teen-pop, the music of 'N Sync and Britney Spears is not unlike disco: Both are intellectually underachieving, cookie-cutter styles that have made stars of performers not known primarily for their skills as singers, songwriters, or musicians.
