...Strange that Trey Parker and Matt Stone's wonderfully irreverent animated sitcom on Comedy Central should be the one place on entertainment TV to find pointed, pertinent theological debate. Is, though. In the quiet Colorado mountain town of South Park, four nine-year-old boys delve into eschatology nearly as much as scatology. Jesus Christ is a palpable presence in South Park - not surprising, since he lives there and hosts a cable access talk show ("Jesus and Pals").

In fact, the Weld professor of law was probably sitting in his quiet Griswold Hall office when the revolution broke out. Almost overnight, a program called Napster turned an obscure legal interest of his into the focus of a heated national debate. Napster’s debut didn’t just put free music into your playlist—it undermined all traditional notions of property. The battle that ensued is not just a fight between hip listeners and entertainment executives...
