It boggles my mind as well. At this level of education, I think that we should be encouraging the growth of knowledge, otherwise it's going to be on a steady decline, in terms of the quality of the work that is being provided to our students.
I don't have an answer for you because I'm not coming from that perspective.
I would say that there is also certainly something that is happening that I am concerned about, as a representative for artists. There is an entitlement for free content and that everyone should have access to it. Access doesn't necessarily mean free. I think we just need to all work together better, to find ways to ensure that access is available, so that those rights can be obtained.
I would like to think that it's not a matter of cost. I think the model of iTunes proves the fact that if you make something available that's quick, so that you can just click a button, people are willing to pay for it. The optimistic side of myself hopes for that.
