yep, basically a whole generation of kids growing up with the belief that we shoudlnt pay for music is a scary thought.
the thing is, the music thing is so hard to protect adn police. Anything that can be watermarked can also be unwatermarked.
I think the clincher will come when movies suffer a similar fate. There is amssive money involved in movies, and I gaurantee that Hollywood aint gonna let their multi billion industry get traded away for free to college kids.
If you want to do some reading on this, do a search on deja.com under rec.audio.pro
The subject is being discussed in great detail there.
