Slashdot Mirror
Hilary Rosen Defeated at Oxford Union
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."

Is Hilary Rosen married? In the picture she doesn't have a engagement/wedding ring on...
;) I was just wondering if being such a zealot for the music industry had an impact on one's personal life.
Not that I am personally interested, she isn't my type.

Holy, crap, that was the worst shit I've heard in a while. I'd rather listen to N'Sync or rap than listen to this crap. Whatever happened to good music like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and B.B. King? If yours is the future of music, I'd rather live in silence.

Who cares what the Oxford Union says about anything? William Hague - the hapless and useless ex-leader of the British Conservative Party was a past president, need we say more?
Seriously, the fact that the elitist twits of the Oxford Union vote this way or that matters not a jot. Sadly, it is only the credulity of some Americans and a few wannabe Brits that keep this institutionn going.
The other reason for its existence - to provide the next generation of our "natural" rulers (ie the Tory party) has been well and truly destroyed by Tony Blair. A man who went to Oxford but demonstrated his innate good sense by having nothing to do with the Oxford Union.
