Attack on Music Piracy

The U.S. has long wanted Israel to crack down on the piracy of
software and compact discs.  Now facing warnings of possible trade
sanctions, the Israeli government is finally beginning to take
actions.
Patricia Golan reports.

Golan reported that an estimate 80% of CDs sold in Israel are pirated.

Is there a connection between this report and the state of Israel
Music Today?

(Let alone the notion of being "Or L'Amim", a light to the nations.)
