BTW I don't see anywhere that he said it was good for the world economy...
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gifBasically, my points were along the lines of financial savings for company which translates to employee and customer benefits, foreign worker training is higher than worker training in USA, quality of products if managed properly can actually be higher with foreign outsourced products, and relational benefits of global economy.
Sourcing wiki is even weaker to winning a debate...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebuttal

EDIT:
haha I see what you did there. BTW I didn't click it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
You could use the angle of how illegal music downloads help a band (or how little they hurt a band) due to how little of a bands income is actually generated by the CD sales themselves. Most of a bands income is from the other things you mentioned....concerts, shirts, etc. Even if you illegally downloaded the music, you may still go to the bands concert & buy shirts & accessories which is more $$ in the bands pocket than the sale of an additional CD (had the person not downloaded the music, they probably wouldn't have bought the CD anyways but might also not have gone to their concert or bought a shirt).But... ummm... I don't believe in it... lol
I use torrents //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
I also buy bands albums I like, go to their concerts, buy their shirts, etc...
And encourage other people to listen //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

INdeed, I have one more speech and I wanted to do it on music as well...You could use the angle of how illegal music downloads help a band (or how little they hurt a band) due to how little of a bands income is actually generated by the CD sales themselves.
