So why are there creators and media companies who say that piracy often increases visibility for the product and increases overall sales?

Or go so far as the Time Warner CEO and say mass piracy of their show is "better than an Emmy"?

yes and no. I can't speak for other industries, but...

As someone who works in the manga industry, yes, piracy does hurt sales. A lot. And everyone in the industry knows it. Translators these days make less than half of what they did in the 90's. LESS THAN HALF. And letterers, editors... wages for everyone are down. The industry is leaking talent. And it absolutely does affect the Japanese side of the industry, too. Most Japanese manga artists are basically living in poverty and need every cent they can get.

wages for everyone are down.

Wages are down in almost every industry. Piracy can't be to blame for all of them. You're assuming piracy is the root cause of the decline in wages in your industry, but is there proof of that?
