As this article sardonically observes, "The [British] government seems to be falling hook, line and sinker for the curious notion that you need to understand that downloading music is stealing before you can possibly learn about, to make and to enjoy music."

Why not simply distribute political pamphlets and conduct exercises in groupthink and be done with it?
