Exactly, ask any parent not to teach their kids to share........ it
is part of the total fabric of society.
Sometimes I think the business world has completely lost it. There
are many neutral ways to influence, and believing in the choice of
the customer is surely a mainstay of any business..... unless you
want to have a secret police as well.
I have had the same experience with my 10 year old, and it left me
feeling very uncomfortable indeed.

Then you are actually treating the consumer as a reasonable person.
No, you're attacking their civic spirit and the nature of friendship,
and that's not cool. No one self-respecting is going to agree to
betray their friends and neighbours like that.
For *THE VAST MAJORITY OF LAW ABIDING PEOPLE*, which is more
likely to work?
Neither. Talk to teenagers - file sharing is here to stay.
By saying "law abiding," you're invoking the law as an authority on
ethics, which is ill-conceived. The law is, at best, at attempt to
achieve justice. Often, if doesn't: law abiding people moved to the
back of the bus.
