And I hope you are "sharing" your regular day job with your boss, since you are advocating sharing on all levels. How about you go in to work tomorrow and tell your boss "hey, today I don't want to get paid, I am in a sharing mood"?

I just tried to say to my boss "I want to be paid for the work I done yesterday a fee everytime that work is used, cited o reviewed. For all my life, and for other 70 years after that. And I wont to decide who, when, where and how will access my work outcome. My heirs will make that same decision for 70 years after my death. And they'll renew this right eternally".
Guess what... It didn't work....
Seriously: you can teach kids to share what they actually
own, that is a good thing, i believe ("give half of your cake to your little sister, please...").
But they really have to understand that they won't
own what they
have.
That book, movie, videogame, comic strip, song they had last Crhistmas, it's not theirs. They can use it how and until when the Great Master of Content let them to do so.
But, really, you cannot teach them that they own the DVD and that they're thiefs if they "share" it with their friends keeping a backup copy...
