Just as auto-racing pushed the limits of cars, creating faster, safer cars. Just as the massive amounts of people wanting to fly created bigger and safer planes. The main problem is that the internet backbone and the connections people have are way to slow if the internet were faster, if everyone was running at crazy speeds this wouldn't be an issue because people swapping files wouldn't be eating up corporate bandwith. I don't think the whole issue here is the recording industry. If the schools weren't so strapped for bandwidth they probably wouldn't mind so much, they probably wouldn't notice.
