I read this in the paper this morning.

Don't me wrong, I'm not surprised by this it just seems to be a left
hand, right hand situation when I read this a few days ago:

(Music industry grows 4% in the UK)

I don't appreciate young people being blamed for the music industries
problems.

Evidently Mr. Sharkey needs to make sure what he is doing is relevant to
young people and perhaps take a look at the larger picture rather than
victimising a group who are mostly unable to hit back.

And so they should be ignored! I wonder, what young people think about
the morality of their actions, if at all. Who are doing the wrong,
those downloading songs for free, or music lobbys pushing for
ridiculous actions against them. I think its obvious what I believe ;)
