It seems to me that Harry has some sort of visceral dislike of teenagers. Surely they aren't the evil monsters he seems to portray them to be.

The stupidity of this whole thing is that the record industry persists in pricing their product at a level that encourages the behavior of all these evil youngsters. In any other industry, and I've been in corporate America for over 40 years, the company would look at the demographics and adjust pricing to account for the lack of sales. But not the record industry.

What continually amazes me is that the record, and video, industry persists in refusing to set a price level that will adjust to the behavior of the evil teenage crowd. It seems better for them to sue their potential consumers, rather then to price their product in such a manner as to make it available to them.

I guess because they are teenagers, even though they are the industry's best customers, the industry, like Harry, considers them beneath contempt.

Sad. The industry has nobody to blame but themselves for their problems.
