Of course you are doing harm to the Musicians!!! Here's an example:
I just got Clarinetist Joze Kotar onto Itunes. If you go there and purchase a track of his he gets xxx $ per track downloaded.
I'm not so sure about iTunes but that doesn't sound like the way most deals work. Usually, you (or whoever the publisher is) sign a mechanical license authorizing x number of copies of your music to be sold and distributed. Then, in addition to the license fees, you are paid royalties when the music is publicly performend (e.g. at a concert, on tv, or on the radio, but NOT in a film in the US). The broadcaster/venue is responsible for filing the records of these performances and paying the fees to the performing rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC in the US).
In US court earlier this year, it was ruled that internet downloads are not considered "broadcasts" or "performances" and, therefore, publishers and writers are not paid performance royalites. Streaming downloads are, however, still considered broadcasts/performances and are subject to royalty payments. See, for example, this article.
Maybe iTunes has a different type of agreement - How is it written into Joze Kotar's license with iTunes? Is it a per-download license fee? Is there a blanket mechanical license fee, as well? I don't see how it can be a performance royalty.
