What bothered me most about the article was the implication that all software for windows was free, whereas you had to pay for it on Macintosh. To me this indicates that students think that if you can download it on Kazaa then it must be legal and right. This whole idea really bothered me. Linux further complicates things for this ignorant people as the OS itself and most apps are legally freely available. Anyay, I think piracy awareness might be a good thing to push to our friends and neighbors. I may hate MS, but I cannot condone downloading packages off of kazaa.
