You have obviously missed the point of school. Yes its there primarily to educate you but as I see it there is much more education happening in school than all the books and classes could ever teach. This is a social education, its about finding your own likes and dislikes and meeting different people. Well Napster and Gnutella and the lot provide that type of education by allowing us to sample diffrent types of music which we ordinarily wouldn't because of the prohibitive prices charged by the memebers of the RIAA. I agree that some people do leach off of it and abuse it but lets face it its here to stay and in my opinion its broadened my music taste.
