I suppose so, but they could do Internet radio, reach a lot more 
people, and do it legally.  I keep thinking, for example, of the 
movie "Pump Up the Volume," where the teenager played by Christian 
Slater could, in today's world, have gone online, got the word out in 
school, and done everything legally.

Of course, some kids like the thrill of doing things illegally, but 
...

A propos, I read a story last week in the Globe about the new rules 
for teenage drivers.  the kids think the hefty fines and losses of 
license or learner's permit are draconian, but it's getting their 
attention.  They're actually starting to observe speed limits and 
obey the traffic laws, and the teen driving fatalities have dropped.
