Reading, Writing, Arithmetic .... and File Sharing

I have been a very bad blogger – thank goodness Melody has been on such a great roll.

I did have to come out of hibernation for this one C|Net, however:

Sixth-graders in American Fork, Utah, will start their journey to middle school on Tuesday with a warning from the director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office about the ills of illegally downloading music, movies and games from the Web.

Director Jon Dudas is scheduled to deliver this year's commencement speech at Legacy Elementary School, situated in the suburbs south of Salt Lake City.

How much do you want to bet that at least 75% of the kids had some sort of illegally downloaded music on their person?
