With students today growing up with access to free downloads, free music, free stuff! it is no wonder they take advantage. I will even admit that during my undergrad years my roommates and I often took advantage of the downloading programs such as Kazaa and Limewire. However, we soon steered away from this practice when we realized the numerous viruses that could be accidentally downloaded along with the music. Today I (legally) buy my music off of ITunes- to go along with my Ipod. I think that as educators we should stress to students the ethical importance of why we should PAY for things (whether they are freely available or not) rather than STEAL them. Letting them know that when they download music for free, the artists who put in the hard work and effort into making it are not being rewarded. Bruce,
