your point is well stated Alice. However..The problems is it is Digital. I think that is how the dynamics of the system have changed. To most minds, Stealing a CD or book from a store is stealing; however, copying or sharing a CD or an ebook is not.
For people over 25 that may make sense. But the Youth borrow, copy, and share digital CDs books ad infinitum...

I believe that if people really got that, they'd be far less inclined to steal. They think of it as free or "sharing" which are much more kindly concepts.
