Strong protections are just starting to do the music industry good. The protections are allowing litigation to successfully proceed against people who pirate their property. What other aproach would you suggest? >>Some people do drugs, some people pirate music, some people speed when >>they >>drive. To me, that is each individual's choice.

Probably more people are getting arrested/ticketed. >Shouldn't the laws be changed? Not necessarily. There is a history of laws aimed at bettering the lives of female and minority populations that were not exactly welcomed or followed at the time they pased, for example. I can't think of any law an entire generation is ignoring, but why is that generation's opinion of law more important to members of society from other generations? Anyway, if a group feels strongly about something they should work together to influence change. >---this debate can go on for a long time....
