With the younger generation I really don't think they have any clue that ethics have anything to do with it. In conversations I've had, they clearly have never given it much thought. They think "yeah, I'm not really supposed to do that" but don't think deeper about the consequences and who exactly it is affecting, as well how it compares to their other actions and the decisions they make in those cases. I can understand how it got that way, but I think it is extremely important to make them think about it and educate them about exactly how it is a matter of ethics.

Doctors, lawyers, stock brokers, bankers, real estate agents, priests, teachers, coaches, building contractors, music contractors, union officials, press billionaires --- its damn near impossible to think of a segment of society that isn't fubar.
I see no hope of eliminating illegal downloading due to inculcation of ethics or morals.
But where someone like Emily doesn't really want to admit that she's doing something wrong, if forced to realize/admit that it is wrong she might change her practices. Given that it is generation-wide pretty much, eliminating it wouldn't be necessary. But failing to eliminate the tacit stamp of approval / look the other way that prevails at the moment couldn't be anything but disastrous for music as an industry, as once those "ethics" get passed to the following generation there is certainly no going back. As he says in the article, people have been shown to support ethical causes buying free-trade coffee, environmentally-friendly businesses etc., the problem is that she thinks a musician's work isn't worth $.99.
I agree.
