While we did hope that it would reduce the number of complaints, we were more interested in being able to say we were doing something, and offering some sort of legal alternative for our students. Culture shift happens slowly. Most students learn about illegal file sharing at home or from their friends. It will take time and awareness education for them to make a shift.

My suspicion is it would not, but I'd love to hear I'm wrong. My guess is that there are plenty of options for listening to music on your computer, but what students want is being able to copy that music to their mp3 player. They also want to be able to do this for free, since their perceived competitors offer "free" downloads. Until you can make significant changes to the culture, whereas downloading material has a social stigma, "free" is going to trump a buck a song. -- Roger A.
