Before the recording industry attacks consumers for so-called pirating of its product, it had best look at its own practice of pricing out its customer base.

I don't know if it's just because I'm a senior, but lately I've been noticing all of the real nice things that Pomona does for its students in preparation for their eventual release into what some of my friends have taken to calling "the real world."
