I think the key here is that both drugs are addictive. Yet alcohol is legal. Marijuana is not addictive and it is illegal where's the sense in that. This arbritrary picking and choosing of what drugs are legal and what drugs are not makes no sense to me. I beleive that if a black market currently exists for recreational drug it would make more sense that we legalize it and regulate it. Direct the funds from such sales back into rehabilitaion and education programs and that way we could reduce crime and drug related deaths at the same time.

You are right I'm no expert in economics. But I personally don't beleive that mp3's are going to impact CD sales. I have noticed that Linux distributors such as Red Hat appear to make money selling a product that is freely downloadable. Why shouldn't the music industry be able to as well. Time will tell because it appears mp3 or some other form of encoding is here to stay.

Some people really fail to spot sarcasm unless they really concentrate. > The internet is not actually a highway. Duh.
Apparently you didn't concentrate enough.

Perhaps you are confused by the term "information superhighway". The internet is not actually a highway. The are no cars, you will not be run over and killed while surfing. Reading something on the internet will not kill you.
Where as some one driving a rocket powered 12 ton vehicle down the freeway during rush hour would most likely kill some one. That is why highway's have regulations.
Information does not kill. What people do with information might kill, but that is that person's responsibility and their choice to make and face the consequences. Censorship is never the right answer.

You can't be serious. Test people to see if they are suitable to access the net? Who would decide who is suitable. You? what if I don't like your requirements. We happen to live in free society, where all speech is supposed to be allowed, whether it be anti christian diatribes, or coporate indignation over copyright infringement. If you don't like whats on the net don't read it. As for MP3's free distibution of them on the net is not robbing artists of their lively hood. If anything it is increaseing it. People who down load mps3's and like the music are going to support the band by attending concerts, buying merchandise, and even purchasing cd's. Admittedly this may mean a change in the business model for the industry, but as far as I'm concerned any band that doesn't like it can stop producing music.
