I'm wondering what my generation (the cassette generation) will be moaning about in ten or fifteen years from now. I have a feeling our unfounded concerns will be focused more on privacy than copying.

Oh there's so much to moan about, in my day no one was strip searched at school or had their at home actions video recorded by school officials, there was at least lip service payed to privacy, no one called me a thief if I made a mix tape, you figured out how to save princess zelda without a guidebook, thieves were people who took your stuff away forever not people who made copies of it, American Idol was called star search and got the crappy ratings it deserved and there was no such thing as fox news, now get off my lawn.
Back on topic another thread suggested the word booklegging, I tend to agree that such a word would be acceptable to anyone who isn't just astroturfing around here.
