Hilary Rosen Defeated at Oxford Union

Posted by timothy on from the choose-your-door-carefully dept.

yogi writes "Oxford University Students' Union had a debate last Thursday, titled This House believes that 'the free music mentality is a threat to the future of music.'. Ordinarily, not too exciting, but since it is the Oxford Union, they get Hilary Rosen to speak. She lost the debate, and had to have pictures like this taken. Read the writeup at NTK, or a more detailed one here. I especially like the bit where she asked all the file downloaders whether it made them buy more music."

    You don't need the distribution because you've found an illegal, alternative option. The morality of the law is moot in this arguement so let's not get into it. Bank robbers can't use the arguement that walking in to a Bank of America with guns was their chosen alternative to a job, can they?
