[BC] Arrested for just telling people where tofindCopywrited material.

[Tom Dimeo]

I am not in contact with many teens and early twenties people 
but the few I do hear talking about music seem to talk more 
about how many songs they have on their MP3 player or Ipod 
and not so much about "what" they have on it.  Last week 
there was a story on the Wall Street Journal This Morning 
that reported that (think I remember the correct percentage) 
forty-five percent of the young people don't really like most 
of the music on their portable players, they just have it 
because it's the "in" thing to have.
