Kids will be kids... We as adults should know that only too well since, as ECA has illustrated, kids do things that as adults they will probably regret. Stealing is stealing we say as adults and kids respond with "whatever!"

Consider this for its paradoxical implications if nothing else. Record companies "steal" from artists all the time using clever accounting practices to put more of the artist's earnings on the company's side of the ledger ala Courtney Love et al. That's legal until a judge slam dunks a record company for such practices. Accounting can do so much.

Now the kids just need to find an accountant who can convince the industry execs that P2P is simply helping the company reduce inventory and thereby justify further downsizing. Makes sense...lol...
