Yeah, you're probably right... But think about it... Kids stop smoking because they get familiar with the stuff smoking does to them. Don't you think that they could get familiar with the concept of sharing when they grow up?
Because there won't be any people brainwashing them, they'll be able to think for themselves, etc...
The only thing they'll do is just the opposite of stopping kids downloading music... Heck, we know kids always tend to do stuff they're not allowed to (or stuff others tell them no to do)... I'm one of them so I know:).
Brainwashing could be effective, however... Do you remember those songs with the silly beeps and messages from the artists in them that were cruising around on the p2p networks at a certain time? Well, instead of beeps, they could put the line "I won't download music ilegally anymore, I won't download music ilegally anymore"... I tend to fall asleep with music on and by hearing that all night, I'd probably be convinced...
Somebody mentioned that the teaching of laws could be useful... Sure, as long as it's not the brainwashing stuff like above:). Really, I don't have anything against teaching laws at school, but why not teach kids traffic laws to stop traffic accidents instead of copyright laws?
