The record industry will do everything it can to make the free exchange of music "wrong". They make millions flogging the latest crap and rely on the nieve integrity of others to enforce their limited view of the roll that music can play in our lives. My opinon... music should be as inexpensive as the distribution mechanisms plus a small mark up for the artist. With the internet the distribution is essentially free. Arranging the small mark up for Artists isn't worth the billions taken out by the record industry. This is the pricing structure that makes sense, and it is the one that will eventually emerge. Kids should be taught to learn what makes sense in school, not how to pass judgement before they can reason through the issues. To the Author: Thanks for writing such a great article.

I remember when I was a kid, we would try to do things that we were told not to do. Most people download music to sample new songs. In the future, kids will download and share music because they are told it's wrong by their teachers. 12-16 year olds don't want to be doing the same things 6-10 year olds are doing. The RIAA is making is cool to download illegal music. Their strategy will work with children under 10, but will backfire with older kids.

Drug and alcohol campaigns are bad enough, but now something that doesn’t ruin families or lives is now going to be a focal point in school? I guess protecting money is way more important than protecting America's education. Bad enough most schools are under funded and understaffed. I love that editorial comment added in the Apple iTunes article. I think the RIAA and the MPAA should join Apple and watch for not shitting on their own porch. I know as a future parent, I'm not letting my children breathe the thoughts of protecting manipulative and rotten monopolies. Why don’t we mold are children into zombies?

f’ing unbelievable…

…’time vampire’ is an understatement, it’s a bloody travesty and anothger example of priorities being out of whack with reality, which seems to be a common theme when dealing with the RIAA and MPAA.
