So far there have been no reports of Triangle-area students being sued by the RIAA, but the issue of file trading has hit university administrators. This month at UNC-Chapel Hill, professor Paul Jones led a panel titled "The Day the Music Died: File Sharing, MP3's, Law and Ethics," as part of Honor Carolina week, a series of events relating to personal ethics and the university's honor code. Jones, who directs the online library project iBiblio.org, says this is a critical moment to consider all dimensions of the file-sharing problem. "What we're seeing is a breakdown on several fronts, not just because of technology but because law, morality, ethics and markets are not in synch," Jones says.

"The music creators and the music consumers are both totally dissatisfied with the recording industry, the distribution system and the radio system, and even the concert venue system, because the ownership of these things is strongly concentrated. The technology's exacerbated this somewhat."
