The communist government is suppressive. They don't want the people getting news and opinions from anybody but them. The internet is like an open world, ready to be explored. Therefore, they ban it. Sure, there will be a "black market" but by banning it they scare off most of the population.

I've been homeschooling for 6 years, and now, at the age of 14, I find myself at least a year ahead in all my studies. Because I don't spend hours on end at public school but instead finish my work quickly and effeciently I end up with alot more free time. I spend this time on the computer and participating in a variety of sports including: soccer, tennis, basketball, martial arts and cycling.
Its true that there are many homeschoolers that have problem interacting with people and can seem somewhat strange and wierd to the general public, but most of these people were taken out of public schools because of there problems. My point is, if you teach homeschooling correctly and participate in many social activities, it gives you many benifits that the average public schooler has no chance to recieve.
The the main reason Napster was created was so that you could download singles without having to buy a whole CD. Sure, if you have the CD, use that instead, but Napster is great for downloading singles.

Actually, MP3s can be better than CD quality (128 kbps). Most of mine are at least 192 if not 256.
