I think you're entirely right about the internet not just being a "source of entertainment". So many aspects of everyday life -- and the important stuff -- are being conducted online in some format, so any loss of (perceived) ownership or control over things is frustrating to say the least. [And then, as above, yes, we do it all through Facebook. Hurrah :) ] I’m glad to have seen this post — it was great meeting you at the event last night.

After all, copyright in the 21st century isn't about promoting expression and thought to create an abundance of knowledge, but rather to limit them and create an artificial scarcity. These are the folks who were born in 1984, they know what time it is. Should it really be so surprising?
