Music Shouldn’t Be a Commodity

I thought that this article was kind of sad to read.  The main gist is found in the first paragraph: "internet downloading and MP3 players are creating a generation of people who do not seriously appreciate songs or musical performances."

So how do we go about making sure people appreciate the work behind the art that is music?
