That may well be the case, but I'm sure you'd agree that we shouldn't simply sit back and accept that crimes happen merely because they are difficult to detect.

I think personally that it's a matter of education - teaching children from an early age that it is NOT acceptable to download such material without paying for it.

Or perhaps the answer is to do what been mooted in a number of countries - to impose a "levy" on all internet users which is then distributed to the music industry to compensate them for their losses. Of course, this is "punishing the innocent" along with the guilty, so it's far from ideal.
